On the 10th of November 1994, 31 year old Mum Shona Stevens popped to the shops on the Bourtreehill estate in Irvine, Scotland. She was just nipping out to grab one can of Guinness at the local Co-op at just after Midday. Little did anyone know that she would be attacked and murdered on her way home just yards from her house. Shona's case is still unsolved despite some publicity just last year in 2021.
