Peter Manuel

Peter Manuel

Peter Manuel was Scotland’s first widely known serial killer. Born in the United States to Scottish parents in 1927, he returned to his native homeland soon after. As an adolescent and into his teen years, he took to terrorising the women of neighbouring towns. By his early twenties, Manuel had become a very dangerous man.Manuel quickly progressed from a housebreaker to an assailant, to a murderer. He was sentenced to death by hanging for his murderous spree, comprising of seven confirmed victims, between 1956 and 1958. Join us, as we look at Peter Manuel’s upbringing, his early criminality and eventually the crimes that saw him swing.
