Twenty-five years ago, as a long summer drew to a close, a night out ended in tragedy. It changed the lives of four young men forever, ending another’s far too soon.

It happened in an unlikely place, the leafy, affluent suburb of Donnybrook in south Dublin.

A fight broke out among a group of young men outside Anabel’s nightclub. When it was over, 18-year-old Brian Murphy lay on the ground. Hours later, he was pronounced dead.

What followed wasn’t just a murder investigation - it was a case that exposed a deep divide in Irish society.
