Welcome to another episode of Scottish Murders. This week, Dawn takes us back to Ayrshire in the 1980s to explore the tragic murders of Kay Wylie and Nancy Nichol. In part one, Dawn details the dramatic upheaval of the Wylie family as they move from South Africa to Scotland, hoping for a new beginning, only to be struck by tragedy when their daughter Kay disappears and is later found murdered.

As questions mount and Nancy Nichol’s life is also cut short, Dawn lays the groundwork for what is to come—the shocking events of the trial and the lingering suspicions of a miscarriage of justice.
