S7 Ep12: The Ruthless Murder of Lisa Bennett

This week, we are back together as we head to Scotland in a listener recommended case - thank you for the suggestion Garrie.  Bethan tells us about the brutal murder of Steven Donaldson, a man who had everything to live for when his short life came to a tragic end at the hands of three evil people. Steven was led to his death by the one person he should have been able to trust - his 19 year old girlfriend. Join us as Bethan pieces together the events of one tragic summer's night in what can only be described as a murderous jigsaw.  *We don't often give warnings, but there are some brutal descriptions of violence contained within this episode and also some colourful language - listener discretion is advised* Theme music thanks to www.bensound.com and mixed by Wiltshire's finest DJ's www.discosuperstars.co.uk. www.pastaevangelists.com (use code RED at checkout for £10 off your first order - seriously, check them out - we love their stuff!) www.betterhelp.com/red to start living a better life TODAY. 10% off your first month for Seeing Red listeners.

Darrell Lance Abbott, best known by his stage name Dimebag Darrell, was an American musician and songwriter. He was the guitarist of the heavy metal bands Pantera and Damageplan, both of which he co-founded alongside his brother Vinnie Paul. His bands were super successful but with an increased profile came an increased risks to his personal safety. On December 8 2004, Damageplan was performing at the Alrosa nightclub in Columbus, Ohio, when a deranged fan stormed the stage, shooting Darrell dead. Three others were killed in the ensuing orgy of blood letting.  Join us as we take you back to that harrowing night. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

To the outside world, Darren and Leanne McKie had it all. Three gorgeous children under the age of ten, a happy marriage of 13 years and respected careers with Greater Manchester Police.  Friends described them as a lovely, genuine couple who had the perfect family. But, as we know all too well on this show, appearances can be deceiving. Behind this façade of middle-class comfort, lay a mountain of spiralling debt, so severe that just 11 days after moving in to their dream family home in September 2017, Leanne would lie dead on the kitchen floor. www.patreon.com/seeingredpodcast Check us out on all the usual social media's Get in touch with your case suggestions - thanks to Stuart Day for this one!
