As one of the film industry’s most famously indestructible supermen, stuntman Garrett Warren was used to leaping off tall buildings and crashing high-speed cars. It was all in a day’s work. He had survived countless bullets, explosions and bloodthirsty assailants in movies such as Avatar and Mission Impossible while earning many friends in the business such as Steven Spielberg, Johnny Depp and Daniel Craig.

See page 43 for The Strange Case Of The Two Candles and the conclusion to our series Last Executions In Ireland.
“Randy was loved by us all,” said vicar David Love, launching into his eulogy. “He was a wonderful father, husband and son. We may never understand, however much we turn to God to explain, what happened to him, and why…” As events unfolded people would remember these words with outraged incredulity and fury.
