Catching The Bus: Episode 136

Catching The Bus: Episode 136

This is an unusual episode of the UK True Crime Weekly Podcast, as I look at the story of Louis Gillies, from Glasgow, who faced the charge that on a day between May 20 and June 7, 2002, at Eastbourne, he aided, abetted, counselled or procured the suicide of Michael Gooden, contrary to the Suicide Act 1961.

I look at the background to the charges and follow events through to their shocking conclusion.

For this episode, I leaned heavily on this excellent article:
