Episode 114: Kenneth George Jones

This week Joannagh tells us about the case of Kenneth George Jones, who went missing from his home in Glenrothes, Fife in November 1998.
Kenneth has been missing for 25 years, with no apparent reason to leave and no indication of foul play.
Joannagh discusses the steps taken to help locate Kenneth, included age progresed photos due to the time elapsed since his disappearance.
We also hear about the diffculty faced by his family due to the lack of information on Kenneth's whereabouts and with there having been a number of cases where remains were found nearby, which were ultimately unrelated.
If anyone has seen Kenneth, you can contact Missing People anonymously by calling 116 000 - calls are untraceable - or by emailing 116000@missingpeople.org.uk. Alternatively, you can contact police on 101.

Episode 113: Netta Fornario

This week Emma brings us the mysterious story of Netta Fornario, who was found dead on the isle of Iona in November 1929.
Emma talks of Netta's fascination with the spiritual and occult and of the odd behaviour she displayed during her time on Iona.
We also hear of the peculiar scene where Netta was found, leading to further suspicion around occult practices.
Emma tells us of the speculation around a cleansing ritual gone wrong and also of marks on the body that may suggest a more sinister end.

Episode 110: Tony Parsons

This week Emma brings us the story of Tony Parsons, a 63-year-old Father and Grandfather who was killed in September 2017.
We hear how, as a keen cyclist and cancer survivor, Tony had decided to complete a charity cycle of 104 miles. It was whilst on this cycle that Tony would go missing.
Emma describes the years long search for Tony, which included initial mountain rescue, air support and dog units as well as later periodic appeals, including a feature on Crimewatch.
We hear how an anonymous tip led to the identification of persons of interest in Tony's disappearance, and how the quick thinking of a confidante of one of these individuals would lead to the breaking of the case.

Episode 107: Annie Irvine

This week Emma brings us a lesser known case from 1974, the killing of 57-year-old Grandmother Annie Irvine, in Paisley.
Emma tells us of the impact the case had on locals, who described being 'sickened' by the crime, and some of those involved in the investigation, who described the killing as 'repulsive' and 'gruesome'.
We hear how, despite the brutality of the killing, there are few available reports on the case from the time and how, despite a large scale manhunt, there was limited progress in the case.
Emma details how the case has been periodically reviewed in an attempt to utilise modern forensic methods to gain new insights in to the killing and, hopefully, deliver justice for Annie.

Episode 105: June Cruickshank and George Forbes

This week Emma tells us of the killings of 2 children in Aberdeen in the 1960's, 6-year-old June Cruickshank and 7-year-old George Forbes.
Emma describes how June was found in a critical condition after a seemingly random act of violence with no clear motive. June would die a short time later.
We hear how there were very few leads in the case, with appeals being made to the public at football matches and through newspaper articles and TV interviews.
Emma tells us how the case hit a dead end until, nearly 3 years later, the killer would strike again.

Episode 104: Isabella Kerr & Mary Jane Rogerson

This week Joannagh tells us of the tragic murders of Isabella Kerr and Mary Jane Rogerson; two women who died at the hands of a jealous, possessive, deeply insecure man, whose continued unspiralling behaviour - left unchecked - led to the ultimate crime.

We hear about the comprehensive and thorough police investigation, and the several ground breaking techniques established during the intensive investigation which would change the approach to policing and forensics forever.

Joannagh and Emma also discuss the attitudes of the time, where domestic abuse was not viewed through the same lens, and recount some of their own experiences of domestic abuse.

Episode 102: Margaret Fleming

This week Joannagh tells us the story of Margaret Fleming, a vulnerable young woman, believed to have been murdered some time between 18 December 1999 and 5 January 2000.
We hear how the trial for the murder of Margaret Fleming was groundbreaking, as it was featured in a BBC documentary titled ‘Murder Trial’ and was the first time a documentary crew had been permitted access to record the proceedings of a high court murder trial.
Joannagh also tells us of the learning disabilities that made Margaret such a vulnerable person, and how access to her disability benefits may have been a key motive in the crime.

Video Podcast - https://youtu.be/tkzX0mCDPMw

This week Emma tells us the story of Amber Gibson, a 16-year-old girl who was killed in November 2021.
Emma talks of the traumatic experiences Amber had already been through in her young life, and the resilience of her character that she was still described as “most giving, loving, supportive and admirable".
We hear about the night Amber disappeared and the search that eventually led to her body being discovered, as well as further unspeakable acts that were carried out after her death.
Emma goes on to describe the events of the trial, which only concluded recently, and the aftermath in which it will be determined if lessons can be learned to prevent further harm to other vulnerable young people.

Episode (1)00: Renee MacRae

Video Podcast - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfNOkt9bn7I

For the long awaited 100th episode of Murder She Spoke Joannagh delves in to the case of Renee MacRae, a 36-year-old mother of two who went missing in November 1976, along with her youngest son, 3-year-old Andrew.
Joannagh talks of the turbulent personal life of Renee, with questions having been raised over the paternity of her youngest son due to an ongoing affair.
We hear about the extensive searches carried out in search of Renee and Andrew, from excavations of Quarries, to searches of Rivers and Lochs involving large numbers of Police, volunteers and even support from the RAF.
In an investigation lasting right up to September 2022, we hear about the lies that allowed the prime suspect to evade Police detection, as well as the evidence that would eventually be used to see them in court.

Episode 99: Karen Buckley

This week Emma tells us the story of Karen Buckley, a 24-year-old student from Ireland, who was killed in 2015 whilst living in Glasgow.
We hear how the alarm was raised after Karen did not return home after a night out, something which was very out of character for her.
Emma describes how the police appeals to the public resulted in crucial information being provided. This information would ultimately lead to the discovery of Karen's remains and would be vital in the case against her killer.

Episode 98: Mary Speir Gunn.
This week Joannagh brings us a mystery dating all the way back to 1913, the case of Mary Speir Gunn.
We hear how, in October 1913, Mary and her family were relaxing in their secluded cottage home when suddenly a hail of bullets tore through the room, hitting all members of the family, Mary fatally so.
We hear how, despite some conclusions being drawn from evidence at the scene, the lack of strong forensics at the time meant a degree of guesswork was involved in the investigation.
Joannagh describes the leads that were ultimately followed in the case, some stretching as far as Saskatchewan, Canada, as well as some of the more imaginative theories put forward by investigators at the time.

Episode 97: The Dunblane Massacre.

Content Warning: This case involves a school shooting and the deaths of many young children. As always, we want our listeners to look after themselves, so if you feel that this episode may be distressing for you we would advise you to possibly skip this episode or listen to another one instead.

This week Emma tells us of the Dunblane Massacre, one of the darkest days in modern Scottish history.
On the 13th of March 1996, a class of 5 and 6-year-old children and their teachers at Dunblane Primary School were targeted by gunman Thomas Hamilton in a merciless attack which claimed the lives of 16 children and 1 teacher.
We hear how the families of the victims got involved in the political fight for gun control, with legislation quickly being introduced to severely restrict the ownership of handguns in the UK.
Emma talks about the lasting impact of the legislation, particularly how there have been no further school shootings since it was introduced. We also hear of the unfortunate parallels with recent incidents in the U.S and the potential lessons that could be learned from Dunblane.

Content Warning: This case involves the death of a child. As always, we want our listeners to look after themselves, so if you feel that this episode may be distressing for you we would advise you to possibly skip this episode or listen to another one instead.

This week Emma tells the tragic story of Julius Czapla, a two-year-old boy living in Edinburgh, who was murdered by his own father.
Emma describes how the breakdown of Julius' parents relationship led his father to display worrying behaviour.
We hear about how Julius' father made the decision to kill his son in order to punish Julius' mother, before attempting to take his own life.
We also hear how, after failing in the attempt to take his own life, Julius' father attempted to use his diminished mental state as a defence for the terrible act.

This week Joannagh tells us about the case of Dorothy Park, a 63-year-old postmistress from New Pitsligo.
In 16 June 1981 Dorothy was found dead in an incident that shocked the residents of the quiet village. Seemingly the victim of a burglary gone wrong, Dorothy was found bound and gagged in her home, she had died by suffocation.
Joannagh details the steps taken by the police to try and identify the perpetrators, with a team of 55 officers being assigned to the case.
We hear how witness statements mentioned 2 strangers in the village on the evening of Dorothy's death, as well as a strange car travelling at speed away from the village. Additionally we hear how a reward of £5,000 (which would be about £20,000 in today’s money) was offered for information leading to an arrest.

Episode 93: Kirsty Maxwell.
This week Emma brings us the ongoing case of Kirsty Maxwell, a 27-year-old woman from Livingston, who died under mysterious circumstances whilst on a trip to Benidorm with friends.
Emma describes how, after a night of drinking, Kirsty fell to her death from a balcony in the hotel she was staying. However the balcony was not in an apartment being rented by Kirsty or her friends.
We hear how some conflicting accounts and inconsistent stories from the occupants of the apartment raised suspicions around the truth of the fall.

Episode 92: Lynda Spence.
This week Joannagh tells us the story of Lynda Spence, a 27-year-old financial adviser from Glasgow who was abducted, tortured and murdered in April 2011.
We hear how Lynda's taste for the finer things in life had led to severe financial mismanagement of clients funds and left Lynda owing substantial sums of money to criminals that she had been doing business with.
Joannagh describes how a group of these criminals made the decision to abduct Lynda and subject her to a 2-week-long period of torture to try and recover their money.
We also hear how, despite thorough efforts by the killers to remove all evidence of the murder, there was sufficient evidence at the scene to charge them with Lynda's murder.

Episode 90: Jolanta Bledaite. This week Joannagh talks us through an infamous and horrific crime from 2008, which would come to be known as the 'Head on the Beach Murder'.
The victim of this barbaric crime was a 35-year-old migrant worker from Lithuania by the name of Jolanta Bledaite.
We hear how Jolanta's remains were initially discovered by two young girls playing on Seagate beach in Arbroath, which led to the Police underwater search and rescue dive team searching Arbroath Harbour for further remains.
Police soon had 2 men under arrest, who they suspected of murdering Jolanta for the purposes of stealing her savings.
Joannagh discusses details of the trial and sentencing, as well as the public outcry into how one of the suspects was able to enter the UK when it was revealed that he had a previous conviction in Germany for manslaughter.

Episode 88: William Henderson. This week Joannagh tells us of an unsolved case from the 1800's known as the Mount Stewart Murder. This case involves the murder of 55-year-old Janet Rogers, who was found dead in the home of her younger brother William Henderson in March 1866. The case was a mystery from the start with no obvious motive being found and the crime scene having some peculiarities.
Joannagh tells us how suspicion soon fell on James Crichton, a ploughman who worked with William Henderson, who was quickly charged with the crime. We hear how conflicting witness accounts and shaky evidence would result in a demonstration of a unique aspect of Scots Law - the 'Not Proven' verdict.

Episode 87: Shona Stevens. This week Emma brings us the story of Shona Stevens who, in 1994, was the victim of a brutal attack which led to her death. To this day the murderer has never been found despite several media appeals.
We hear about some potential avenues of investigation that have been looked at over the years but which, sadly, did not yield results. We also hear of the strain that Shona's death had on her family, and the personal struggles they had to endure.
Emma gives details about a recent appeal by the police for information. This appeal includes a picture of a novelty key-ring, found at the crime scene, which investigators hope will help to jog the memory of someone with vital information. Links to the picture can be found below.

Joannagh details some of the odd details of the case which led to various theories emerging from the police, and also the wider community, around the circumstances of Kevin's death.
We hear how Kevin's family made various complaints about how the investigation had been handled, believing that crucial steps were not taken and that viable lines of enquiry were not followed.
Joannagh describes how, over the course of over 20 years, several reviews into the investigation and the conduct of the police were carried out, with the findings only recently being released.

Episode 80: Mary Queen of Scots. This week Joannagh delves into the history books to tell us the story of Mary Queen of Scots.
We hear of the many plots surrounding the young Queen all through her life, from murder plots to political schemes involving several major European powers.
Joannagh describes how the reformation and the continuing tensions between the catholic and protestant faiths in Scotland and England was the catalyst for much of the turmoil in the life of Mary.
We hear how investigations - and possible set-ups - were used to justify Mary's imprisonment and ultimately her execution by her cousin Queen Elizabeth of England and how the political landscapes of Scotland and England were affected by her death.

Episode 79: Margaret McLaughlin. This week Emma brings us the story of Margaret McLaughlin, a 23-year-old typist from Carluke, who was killed in July 1973.
We hear how the ferocious attack would likely have left substantial evidence on the killer and how it came as a surprise when the police named a main suspect displaying none of these signs.
Emma discusses some of the poor investigation practices carried out by the police at the time and the concerns ,by some, of the outcome of the original investigation.
Most notably Emma looks at the research of criminologist Professor David Wilson, who casts serious doubts about the safety of the original conviction and goes so far as to name who he believes is the real killer.

Episode 78: William Henry Bury. This week Joannagh takes us back to 1889 for the tale of William Henry Bury.
We hear about Bury's tragic childhood, in which he lost both parents at a very young age, was raised by family friends and found employment in a workhouse at age 16.
Joannagh tells us of the troubled relationship Bury had with his wife Ellen Elliot, in which he was frequently violent towards her.
We also hear how this violence reached a peak after the couple moved to Dundee, Scotland. This set in motion a controversial investigation in which questions were raised about evidence and there may have even been a link to one of the most infamous killers of all time.

Episode 77: Louise Tiffney. This week Emma brings us the story of Louise Tiffney, a 43-year-old mother of two who went missing in May 2002. We hear how - after an argument with her 18-year-old son Sean - Louise supposedly left her flat at around midnight without bank cards, cash, extra clothing or her passport.
After weeks of fruitless searching for Louise, a hunch by a detective on the case brought the investigation much closer to home.
Following a trial that ended with no conviction, the case stagnated until 2017, when the discovery of human remains reignited the investigation and ultimately led to the cases shocking conclusion.

Episode 74: Kriss Donald. This week Joannagh brings us the story of Kriss Donald, a 15-year-old boy who, in 2004, was killed in a racially motivated attack in Glasgow.
We hear how Kriss was targeted at random by an Asian gang in revenge for an assault in a nightclub that Kriss had no involvement in.
Joannagh tells us of the harrowing, hours long ordeal faced by Kriss before ultimately being killed by the gang and how the ringleaders attempted to evade justice by fleeing to Pakistan.
We hear details of the efforts of members of the Pakistani community in Glasgow to aid in bringing the suspects to justice as well as the notable intervention of Glasgow MP Mohammed Sarwar in securing the extradition of the suspects from Pakistan, which has no extradition treaty with the UK.
Finally we hear of the strength and dignity shown by Kriss's mother Angela who, during the investigation, gave a public statement speaking against any racially motivated reprisals in the community and who refused to allow the death of her son to be used by those seeking to stoke racial tensions.

Episode 71: Patricia Henry. This week Emma brings us the story of Patricia Henry, a 46-year old mother from Girvan, who went missing in November 2017.
Emma tells us how initial reports into Patricia's disappearance suggested Patricia may have returned to Gran Canaria, where she had lived previously. However, when irregular financial activity was identified during a proof of life check by police, this no longer seemed likely.
We hear how suspicions were raised around the actions of a friend of Patricia's, both before and after her disappearance, and how this opened up a crucial line of inquiry.
Finally, we hear how the conclusion to this case was reached mere days before this episode was recorded, with a conviction being secured, but with some important questions sadly left unanswered.

Episode 70: Helen Fiona Torbet. This week Joannagh brings us the story of Helen Torbet, a 62-year-old outdoors-woman who disappeared in July 1993. Helen was an avid hill walker, having climbed all the Munro's in Scotland and we hear about the important and lasting contributions she made to hill walking in Scotland.
However we also hear how Helen disappeared whilst on one of her solo hill walking adventures, with no trace being found of her, despite thorough searches by police and rescue teams.
Joannagh tells us how a chance discovery 10 months after Helen went missing was the breakthrough that changed the case from a missing persons enquiry to the search for a body.
This break in the case identified a potential suspect and ultimately led police to uncovering the grisly truth behind Helen's disappearance.

Episode 69: Jean Milne. This week we go back to 1912 as Emma tells us about the unsolved murder of Jean Milne, a wealthy 69-year-old spinster from Broughty Ferry near Dundee.
As Jean enjoyed living in some seclusion, but was also known to travel often and with little notice, it was several weeks before the grisly scene of her murder was uncovered in her home.
Emma describes how the crime scene failed to present clear answers, as some valuables were missing but many others in plain view remained, casting doubt on robbery being the motive.
We hear of the double life led by Jean on her frequent travels, in which she had liaisons with much younger men. This part of Jean's life was explored for potential motive and ultimately led to the arrest of the only suspect in the investigation.

Episode 68: Elizabeth 'Totsie' Sutherland. This week Joannagh brings us the story of Elizabeth Sutherland. 'Totsie' - as she was nicknamed due to her small stature - was a 36-year-old woman killed in a vicious attack at her home in the small town of Culbokie in the Highlands of Scotland.
We hear how the police believed the murder was committed due to Elizabeth interrupting a burglary, despite nothing being reported missing from the house.
Joannagh tells us how a known thief, local to Culbokie, was picked up for the killing.
We hear of the questionable ways that the case against him was built and how this led to a serious miscarriage of justice.

Episode 67: Jess McPherson. This week Emma takes us back to 1860's Glasgow for the case of Jess McPherson, whose case is one of four notorious murders which took place in an infamous area of Glasgow known as the Square Mile of Murder.
Emma describes the historic significance of this case as the police used early versions of forensic photography in the investigation, which was a first in Scotland.
We hear how widely publicised the case was at the time and how invested the people of Scotland had become in the story of murder and deception surrounding an upper class family.
Furthermore we hear how, following the verdict and sentencing, public outrage led to a review of the case and ultimately impacted the final sentence delivered.

Episode 66: Lynda Hunter. This week Joannagh brings us the story of Lynda Hunter, a 30-year-old woman from Carnoustie, who went missing in August 1987.
Joannagh tells us how Lynda was known to be around 6 weeks pregnant when she went missing and was also with her 14-year-old dog Shep, adding further concern to the already troubling disappearance
We hear how reports of a troubled marriage raised suspicions around Lynda's husband, before a grim woodland discovery led to a break in the case.
Additionally we are told how revelations from this investigation led to questions being raised about some earlier tragedies and whether or not they could be linked to Lynda's case.

Episode 65: Sandy Drummond. This week Emma tells us of the mysterious death of Sandy Drummond, a 33-year-old former soldier, found murdered in Boarhills, Fife, on the 24th of June 1991.
Emma describes how Police failings in the immediate aftermath of Sandy's body being discovered meant that potentially key forensic data could not be gathered from the crime scene.
We hear about unusual behaviour displayed by Sandy in the days leading up to his death, which led those close to him to believe there was something amiss. We hear, also, how rumours of bullying in the workplace could point to a motive and led some in the community to name potential suspects.

Episode 64: Gordon Johnston. This week Joannagh brings us the story of Gordon Johnston.
Gordon was a 53-year-old man who, in May 1989, was attacked and killed during a violent robbery of the gun and fishing equipment shop where he had worked for 37 years.
Joannagh describes how this vicious robbery was part of a wider series of crimes planned by Gordon's killers which would have included kidnapping and extortion.
We hear how a combination of the conscience of a family member and the killers' own bungling plans, gave Police the breakthrough in the case they needed to catch and charge them with Gordon's murder.

Episode 63: Sheila Anderson. This week Emma brings us the story of Sheila Anderson, a 27-year-old sex worker from Edinburgh who died from injuries sustained in a brutal vehicular attack in April 1983.
We hear how a distrust of Police by the city's sex workers made it difficult to gather evidence, and would eventually lead to the Police making significant changes to their treatment and Policing of sex work and sex workers.
Emma also tells us of the appeals made for further information years after the murder took place, and the hope that justice may be done one day due to the major advances in DNA technology.

Episode 62: Emma Faulds. This week Joannagh brings us the story of Emma Faulds, a 39-year-old woman from Kilmarnock, whose sudden disappearance in April 2019 sparked panic amongst her family.
Joannagh details the immediate concern that was expressed at the time for the wellbeing of Emma, given how out of character the disappearance was, and the fears of the police that she may have come to some harm.
We hear how investigators combined CCTV footage with some additional circumstantial evidence to arrest a suspect in the disappearance. We also hear how detailed and methodical police work allowed a 300 square mile potential search area to be narrowed down to just 10-15 square miles, and revealed a damning discovery which sealed the fate of the suspect.

We hear how recent upheaval in Rory's home life led some to believe he may have run away, or that he may have been vulnerable and open to manipulation.
Emma also tells us how the assistance of the public led police to the home of their only suspect, who would do anything to avoid facing justice.

Episode 60: Elaine Doyle. This week Joannagh brings us the story of Elaine Doyle, a 16-year-old girl from Greenock who was attacked and killed on her way home from a night out in June of 1986. We hear how the appeals by the Police and the Media for witnesses to come forward yielded little of use to the investigation.
Joannagh also tells us how unusually careful collection and storage of DNA evidence for the time - in which DNA evidence was in its infancy - led to a breakthrough in the case when the evidence was re-examined 28 years later.

Episode 59: Colin Marr. This week Emma brings us the story of Colin Marr, a 23-year-old man who, after an argument in his home in 2007, was killed by a single stab wound to the chest.
Whilst Colin's death was ruled a suicide, the strange circumstances surrounding the incident led his family to pursue the case further.
Emma tells us how the family enlisted the help of respected pathologists and former detectives to cast doubts on the official version of events.
We also hear how substandard Police work at the scene of Colin's death, and in the further investigation, resulted in a number of complaints being raised and could have resulted in valuable forensic evidence being missed.

Episode 58: Maggie Dickson. This week Joannagh delves into the history books to bring us the bizarre story of Maggie Dickson.
Convicted of killing her newborn baby in 1724, Maggie was jailed and sentenced to be hanged.
Joannagh describes some of the now outdated aspects of life in Edinburgh in the 1700's, particularly the obsolete medical techniques used to convict Maggie.
We also hear how a less than thorough medical examination, and the very specific wording of a law, led to Maggie Dickson going down in the history books as "Half-Hangit Maggie".

Episode 57: Mary McLaughlin. This week Emma brings us the story of Mary McLaughlin, a great-grandmother from Glasgow whose murder remained unsolved for 36 years.
We hear details of the intricate forensic work carried out that allowed a DNA profile to be obtained and a conviction to be secured, despite the time that had passed since the crime was committed.
Emma also discusses the issue of crimes being committed by prisoners who are on temporary release and some of the factors that may lead to dangerous criminals being released back into society too soon.

Episode 56: Robyn Fryar. This week Joannagh brings us the story of Robyn Fryar, a 15-year-old girl from Paisley, whose life was tragically cut short in a hit and run accident due to the reckless actions of a young driver.
We hear how two major issues with young male drivers may have contributed to the accident - namely drink driving and boy racing.
Joannagh also describes the attempts taken to increase the punishment given to the driver, after a sentence was delivered that many considered too lenient.

Episode 55: Betty Hadden. This week Emma takes us back to 1945 to tell us of the mysterious death of Betty Hadden in Aberdeen.
After being seen out and about in Aberdeen, there was no trace of Betty until a grizzly discovery made early in the morning two days later.
Emma tells us about the - for the time - surprisingly progressive attitude taken by the police in their attempts to solve the crime and also of the somewhat unorthodox methods used to try and jog the memories of the public.

Episode 54: Mark Scott. This week Joannagh brings us the story of Mark Scott, a 16-year-old boy who was brutally slain in an unprovoked sectarian attack in Glasgow in 1995.
Joannagh provides some historical context to the issue of sectarianism in the West of Scotland and the social, economic and political factors that drove its rise.
We hear how the fierce rivalry between Glasgow football clubs Celtic and Rangers is fuelled - in part - by sectarianism and how this irrational hatred resulted in Mark's tragic death.

Episode 52: Corrie McKeague. This week Joannagh tells us about the strange case of Corrie McKeague, a young RAF Serviceman who vanished - seemingly without a trace - following a night out in Bury St Edmunds.
Joannagh describes the events leading up to Corrie's disappearance including the apparent confusion displayed by the young Serviceman on the last CCTV images available.
We also hear how record keeping errors and miscommunication caused severe delays to key lines of enquiry - potentially ruining any chance of recovering crucial evidence.

Bonus Episode: Interview with Thomas Leonard Ross QC.

Before joining the Scottish bar in 2000, Thomas was a partner in a busy Glasgow solicitor’s practice, specializing in criminal defence.

Since calling at the Scottish bar, Thomas has established himself as one of the country’s busiest criminal trial counsel – having conducted more than 250 trials in the highest trial court. Homicide in all its forms is a particular interest – but all types of serious crime have been defended by Thomas.

In August 2017 Her Majesty the Queen appointed Thomas as one of her counsel in Scotland, ‘a mark of distinction in Advocacy’.

Thomas was featured in the BBC documentary 'Murder Trial: The Disappearance of Margaret Fleming', in which the crew were given unprecedented access to the inner workings of Scotland's justice system to document a high-profile murder trial as it progressed.

In this episode Thomas explains the origin of the 'Not Proven' verdict and clears up some of the misconceptions surrounding this unique aspect of Scot's Law. Thomas also talks about the ways the legal profession has changed during his career and provides some practical advice for students of Law.

Episode 25: Henry Gallagher. On 18 May 1980, four medical students were playing football when one accidentally knocked the ball over the fence at number 2 Roseangle in Dundee, Scotland. Whilst retrieving the ball, the student glanced through the window of the house and was arrested by what he saw. Inside was what police later described as a crime scene resembling an abattoir. Why was an infirm, retired, well liked doctor and his wife attacked in their home? Why did the murderer go on to commit another heinous double murder in the following few days and what became of him after he was caught? Listen as Joannagh takes you through the case.

As podcasters, we have a platform and duty to speak up and call out injustice. In light of the murder of George Floyd, we have come together in solidarity to use our platform to speak up against racial injustice and amplify the voices of black podcasters that deserve more recognition. Racism is prevalent in all industries; from the media who under-report on black victims to the justice system which routinely fails black victims. In this collaborative episode, we document black history and current events with the voices of those who have lived through it.Special thanks to: Tasha from Sinister Silhouettes https://linktr.ee/tcbytb Andre and Battle from Bruh Issa Murder https://linktr.ee/Bruhissamurder Serena from Handcuffed Podcast https://linktr.ee/handcuffedpodcast Aaron from True Crime?
