Mark Nash convicted of 1997 double murder
A man has today been found guilty of the double murders of two women in Dublin 18 years ago.
Mark Nash, who used to live at Prussia Street and on Clonliffe Road in Dublin, had denied stabbing Sylvia Shiels (aged 59) and Mary Callinan (aged 61) to death while they slept in their beds at Grangegorman in March 1997.
The jury returned a unanimous verdict of guilty on both charges.
Nash, who is originally from England, is already serving life in prison for murdering his ex-girlfriend's sister and her husband in Roscommon - also in 1997.
When arrested for those murders, he admitted to the Grangegorman killings, but later withdrew his confession.
He will be sentenced later this afternoon.
