Crime Most Scots

Episode 5 : Spicy Food, Indian Bullet and an Protective Father: The Shamsuddin Mahmood Murder

This episode sees us getting our feet wet as we leave Lanarkshire behind, and head up North, and I mean north.  We’re leaving the mainland and warping back to 1994, and going to the Orkney Islands. A Pakistani waiter, here for the summer, starts his shift at the local Indian restaurant, but he’d not see the end of the shift, he was shot, in the face, point blank, and died instantly. The gunman turns on his heels and leaves, killing no one else in the restaurant.  But who was the masked man, and why did it take the police 14 years to take this case to trial?

Episode Four: Manhattan to Lanarkshire, the Beast of Berkinshaw

This week’s episode finds us South of Glasgow, in Lanarkshire, in the 1950s.   We'll start with a triple homicide, a family brutally murdered in their homes, in their beds.  But wait, Dad’s off on a fishing trip miles away, so far that you need to take a ferry back.  Did he have time to take a late night boat, drive home, murder his family, and make it back again before his family are discovered dead?

Episode 3: Karen Buckley

An international flavour to this episode’s case, an Irish nurse goes missing after a night out in Glasgow, a thankfully short search is started, but what the police discover will make your blood run cold.  The warning signs were there, but sadly they were ignored, leaving us to discuss a murderer that has shades of Walter White.

Episode 2: The Judi Jones Case

On a late summer’s afternoon a teenager sends a text to her boyfriend that she’s just leaving the house to come and see him.  It should have been a short, picturesque jaunt through a wood, but tragically it would become the location for Jodi’s last moments, and murder.  The family starts a search for her, and it would be the boyfriend who located Jodi’s body, like fast, and off the beaten track. Was it just a horrible piece of luck, that knife carrying boyfriend Luke Mitchell, the misfit found Jodi, or is he hiding something very dark?

When a lonely fisherman’s wife seeks warmth in the arms of another, but then decides she’s made an awful decision, things turn deadly, and end in the last hanging in Scotland, but why was it seen as controversial?
