Posing as a musician-cum-guru-cum-Christ-figure, Manson built a commune cult of hippies, consisting mainly of troubled young women.

Every television in the country was tuned in to the match, and The Heights Bar in Loughinisland, Co. Down was no exception. But two miles down the road, three men with no interest in Ireland's footballing progress were planning a deadly massacre.
