About this episode

It was the savage murder which brought home the reality of the horrors of gangland crime to the Irish public.


Anthony Campbell was a hard working 20 year old plumber when he was murdered by gunmen who feared leaving a witness to their execution of drugs trafficker Martin 'Marlo' Hyland.


The unsolved murders are the focus of a new six part serial podcast called "Caught In The Crossfire" from the Crime World team.


Niall talks to Nicola Tallant about why she chose to focus on these murders and her admiration for Anthony's mother Christine.
