In the fourth episode of British Murders Season 6, I tell the story of Scottish double murderer Iain Scoular.Between October 1, 1982, and December 2, 1982, Iain Scoular murdered 36-year-old taxi driver Catherine McChord and 48-year-old midwife Elizabeth Walton in Cambuslang, Scotland.Initially, the police did not link the two murders. They had no suspects until Iain strolled into the police caravan HQ and told them he'd seen a stranger acting suspiciously on the night of Elizabeth's murder.In a bizarre turn of events, Iain's mum Jean's testimony inadvertently led to her son's capture.Iain was handed two life sentences on June 6, 1983, with a minimum term of 20 years.He was released from prison in 2003.⁣⁣For all things British Murders, please visit my website:⁣https://www.britishmurders.com/⁣Intro music:⁣David John Brady - 'Throw Down the Gauntlet'⁣https://linktr.ee/davidjohnbradymusic⁣My recording equipment:⁣Shure SM7B Vocal MicrophoneCloud Microphone Cloudlifter CL1Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB Audio InterfaceRode PSA-1 Professional Studio Boom ArmRecorded in:⁣Hindenberg PROEdited in:⁣DaVinci Resolve 17⁣References:⁣www.britishmurders.com/iainscoular/ Learn more about your ad choices.

In the third episode of British Murders Season 6, I tell the story of Stephen Port, dubbed by the media as "The Grindr Killer".Between June 2014 and September 2015, Stephen used online dating sites such as Grindr, Sleepyboy.com and FitLads to meet young, gay men whom he drugged, sexually assaulted and killed.Despite systematic failings by the local police force, Stephen was finally caught and arrested in October 2015 and was handed a Whole Life Order by Mr Justice Openshaw on November 25, 2016.The 'Grindr Killer' case is very controversial regarding how the police handled the investigations into the deaths of Anthony Walgate, Gabriel Kovari, Daniel Whitworth and Jack Taylor.The police initially disregarded their respective deaths as being non-suspicious when, in fact, Stephen Port had murdered them all.The link below provides guidance information and links to services and guidance for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals in the UK:https://www.gov.uk/guidance/advice-and-support-for-lgbt-people⁣⁣For all things British Murders, please visit my website:⁣https://www.britishmurders.com/⁣Intro music:⁣David John Brady - 'Throw Down the Gauntlet'⁣https://linktr.ee/davidjohnbradymusic⁣My recording equipment:⁣Shure SM7B Vocal MicrophoneCloud Microphone Cloudlifter CL1Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB Audio InterfaceRode PSA-1 Professional Studio Boom ArmRecorded in:⁣Hindenberg PROEdited in:⁣DaVinci Resolve 17⁣References:⁣www.britishmurders.com/stephenport/ Learn more about your ad choices.
