February 6th Peggy Flynn – Dalkey 6/2/1966

February 6th Peggy Flynn – Dalkey 6/2/1966: "Who killed Irish prostitute Peggy Flynn? “I did,” said an Irishman serving in the British Army’s Parachute Regiment and currently a patient at the Royal Victoria Hospital at Netley, Southampton. “Well,” said detectives when they had listened at his bedside to his confession, “we don’t think it was you.”
Peggy Flynn, 49, was found dead on a beach at Dalkey, County Dublin, on Sunday, February 6th, 1966. She had been strangled with one of her own stockings and had probably been killed elsewhere. Because she was a loner, working the streets and the bars with no particular base or pattern, the gardai were faced with a tough task. They seemed likely to be spared much leg work by the confession of the parachutist, who happened to be in Dublin at the time of the murder when it happened."?
