Shaun Duffy: Murder in Donegal

In January 2005, 36-year-old Shaun Duffy returned to his home in Meenacross, Donegal, after celebrating his younger brother’s birthday. Hours later, he was found dead in his ransacked sitting room, having been stabbed, repeatedly struck on the head and wounded with a crossbow arrow.More than 21 years later, no one has ever been arrested. This week, we examine the investigation into Shaun’s murder, the rumours surrounding his business dealings and the theories linking his death to organised crime...and possibly to another unsolved disappearance in Donegal.This episode was written, hosted and produced by Jenny Claffey, with research by Karl O’Reilly.Sources:An Garda Síochána — Murder of Shaun Duffy, Meenacross, Co.
