CALLING ALL 'MURDERINOS'!Join dark historian Andrew Johnston of Alternative Ulstours for an illustrated Terror Talk on Ulster's own suspected serial killer, the notorious Dr John Bodkin Adams.
Andrew will detail the events that led to 1957's 'murder trial of the century', from Bodkin Adams's childhood in Randalstown and university years in Belfast to the deaths at his hand on England's 'Costa Geriatrica'.
With a potential body count of up to 310 victims - many more than even fellow medical monster Dr Harold Shipman - Bodkin Adams may be the British Isles' worst ever serial killer.
The talk will explore the conspiracies behind his sensational acquittal, the possible reasons for his actions and how he spent his later life.
So, come along to the iconic Sunflower Public House, buy a drink, pull up a seat and let Andrew open the true crime case of Northern Ireland's 'Doctor Death'!
