Description
Episode 92: Lynda Spence. This week Joannagh tells us the story of Lynda Spence, a 27-year-old financial adviser from Glasgow who was abducted, tortured and murdered in April 2011.We hear how Lynda's taste for the finer things in life had led to severe financial mismanagement of clients funds and left Lynda owing substantial sums of money to criminals that she had been doing business with.Joannagh describes how a group of these criminals made the decision to abduct Lynda and subject her to a 2-week-long period of torture to try and recover their money.We also hear how, despite thorough efforts by the killers to remove all evidence of the murder, there was sufficient evidence at the scene to charge them with Lynda's murder.
