S7 Ep5: The Port Arthur Massacre

This time on Seeing Red we head north to Scotland, or more precisely, to The Orkney Isles. The Orkney Isles are a group of seventy small islands off the north coast of Scotland. The largest of the islands is called Mainland and it is widely considered to be one of the most peaceful and idyllic places on Earth. But this hasn't always been the case. On 2 June 1994, a man walked into an Indian restaurant on the island and shot a waiter in the head at point-blank range... This was a crime that not only shocked Scotland, but the entire United Kingdom. And what followed in the aftermath has caused widespread debate...

This week's episode begins in 2006, in Novokuznetsk – a large industrial city situated in south-western Siberia, Russia.  Irish couple Geraldine and Patric Kriegel weren't planning on adopting a child when they visited an orphanage in the Russian city, but when they set eyes on two-year-old Anastasia, their hearts melted and they knew they had to rescue her. Binging her home with them to Lucan, a small town on the outskirts of Dublin, Anastasia was set for a life of privilege... But very sadly, fate had a different plan in store for her... This is a terribly upsetting case that sees us delve in to the disturbing subject of child-on-child murder. Check pout Adam's gin: Bloodhound Gin – Persie Distillery - use code UKTC for 10% off!
