'There's another chapter on women who have been abused who turn on their abuser. Lillis initially told gardaГ he must have blacked out around the time of the killing when his story didn't add up.Д®amon Lillis told gardaГ he couldnвЂ™t remember killing his wife Celine Cawley Irish killers have regularly claimed amnesia when first talking to gardaГ, including Eamon Lillis who beat his wife Celine Cawley to death in Howth, Co. That case is the backbone of the case about memory loss and it's pretty instructive.' 'We often have to deal with amnesia, and there is a chapter all about it in which I describe the case of a man who set fire to his victim and it's pretty distressing and dramatic. About a third of people arrested for serious offences report - at least initially - that they can't remember doing it. 'There is a chapter where I deal with amnesia.

Hardy is serving life for the murders of Sally White (38), Bridgette MacClennan (34), and Elizabeth Valad (29).

His new book The Mind of a Murderer, which was released this week, explores the psyche of these evil criminals to find out why they kill.Дr Taylor said he met many Irish people based in the UK as part of his work and one of his cases was that of an Irishman who decapitated his victim.

His career has taken him from looking into a case where a law student stole a book, to a US Federal case where a man was charged with conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction. He's met everyone from psychopaths and serial killers to terrorists and torturers over the course of his 26 years in the field, but the London-based forensic psychiatrist told the Sunday World he finds 'humanity even amongst people who have done terrible things'. His job isn't about solving who committed an awful crime but instead focuses on getting to the bottom of why the person did it. Forensic psychiatrist Dr Richard Taylor knows what it's like to get inside the mind of a murderer, having worked on more than 100 bloody cases.
