In this bonus episode, Simon and Tom discuss a harrowing crime from 1985 where three soldiers were brutally murdered in Midlothian, Scotland. They begin by catching up on recent events, including a disturbing case of a young man who pled guilty to stabbing three girls, compared to a school shooter profile constrained by the UK's lack of guns. They then dive deep into the Glencorse killings, exploring the crime scene, the initial investigation led by Detective Superintendent Brian Cunningham, and the pivotal role of Colonel Clive Fairweather. Suspicions quickly turned inward, leading to the arrest of Corporal Andrew Walker. The meticulous investigation detailed will fascinate listeners, from the matching of bullets to the recovery of key evidence. They also draw parallels to modern-day media management issues, reflecting on how such cases were handled differently in the past. The episode honours the memory of the victims and the professionals involved, underscoring the emotional and procedural complexities of the case.
