They had been written at the height of Michelle’s infatuation with John, on a day when she was ill, off work, and clearly at a low ebb. Michelle met John Shaughnessy in 1989 at the Churchill clinic in Lambeth, south London, where they both worked.

They heard rumours in the clinic about her and John and they worried that she had not mentioned the relationship.As O'Mahoney tried to extricate himself from the affair he stumbled across an incriminating letter that could mean only one thing: Michelle Taylor was guilty of Alison's murder. Police attention was focused on her and she resolved to shield Lisa from the same kind of ordeal, keeping her out of the picture entirely. At the end of the trial, and after only five and a half hours of deliberation, the jury found the Taylor sisters guilty of murder by a unanimous verdict.

She had just moved into a new house with her husband and they planned to move back to Ireland to start a family. Det Supt Chris Burke, who led the murder inquiry, described the sisters as 'clever and calculating killers'. But most objectionable of all is the author, O'Mahoney, himself, whose string of convictions and prison terms for crimes of violence led to his familiarity with the criminal justice system and his lively contempt for its workings.

Filmmaker Bernard O'Mahoney, a man who had originally campaigned for the release of the Taylors and who then had an affair with Michelle, has since claimed that she confessed to the murder to him and has campaigned for the sisters to be re-convicted. After the murder on Monday, 3 June 1991, the inquiry team from Battersea Police Station had a number of early leads, and also a hunch about Michelle Taylor. The name Derek Williams is false and has been substituted for the real one to avoid legal prejudice.He was co-author of Killing Rage - the autobiography of former IRA supergrass Eamon Collinspublished by Granta Books in 1997. Michelle's diary included an entry that read: "My dream solution would be for Alison to disappear, as if she never existed.
