On the remote Orkney island of Sanday, a love triangle would end in brutal violence. In June 2009, Yorkshireman Robert Rose disappeared after beginning a relationship with the former girlfriend of local man John "Jack" Campbell. When Rose failed to return home, a major search operation was launched. Two weeks later, his body was discovered hidden among sand dunes on the island.
Investigators uncovered a deadly act of jealousy and revenge. Campbell, then in his fifties, had violently beaten Rose to death before attempting to conceal the crime. A court later found him guilty of murder and ordered that he serve a minimum of 16 years in prison. More than a decade later, Campbell, originally from the Falkirk area, was released on compassionate grounds. This episode examines the events that led to a killing that shocked a close knit island community.
