Description
Episode 79: Margaret McLaughlin. This week Emma brings us the story of Margaret McLaughlin, a 23-year-old typist from Carluke, who was killed in July 1973.We hear how the ferocious attack would likely have left substantial evidence on the killer and how it came as a surprise when the police named a main suspect displaying none of these signs.Emma discusses some of the poor investigation practices carried out by the police at the time and the concerns ,by some, of the outcome of the original investigation.Most notably Emma looks at the research of criminologist Professor David Wilson, who casts serious doubts about the safety of the original conviction and goes so far as to name who he believes is the real killer.Case research by Emma TaylorProduced by Emma Taylor & Joannagh ShanksEditing by Shaun O'NeillMusic by Tribe of NoiseSources of research:https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/jun/10/scottish-tory-msp-george-beattie-case-scotlandhttps://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/innocent-man-spent-15-years-22804071https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/crime-scene-murder-margaret-mclaughlin-24072995https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/18779927.margaret-mclaughlin-murder-last-opportunity-justice/https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/5899864/margaret-mclaughlin-carluke-murder-george-beattie/https://news.stv.tv/west-central/likely-suspect-for-1973-murder-named-by-criminologisthttps://news.stv.tv/west-central/carluke-george-beattie-murder-innocenthttps://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/murder-investigator-confronted-suspect-in-margaret-mclaughlins-killing-wg8bfbkpghttps://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12334731/woman-stabbed-teen-bizarre-confession-criminologist-clear-killer/http://www.roughjusticetv.co.uk/marg.htmhttps://www.pressreader.com/uk/daily-record/20201007/281831466193272https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/18579726.books-david-wilson-asks-killed-margaret-mclaughlin/https://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/search-judgments/judgment?id=1bb986a6-8980-69d2-b500-ff0000d74aa7https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/commons/1993/mar/03/george-beattiehttps://scotslaw.fandom.com/wiki/George_Beattie_v_HM_Advocatehttps://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/george-beattie-fitted-up-cops-22344669http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/7923558.stmhttps://newspresslive.com/can-courts-provide-real-justice-scotland-stv-news/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gem9R73CeiYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1CUKyGwieE BBC Rough Justice: The Case of the Missing Meal
