In April 1981, 74-year-old Eliza Connelly was found dead in her home in a quiet residential area in Broughty Ferry in Dundee. She had 12 wounds to her head, two on her hands, fractured ribs, and blood was found everywhere from the floor to the ceiling. The initial assumption was murder, but with no evidence or witnesses, an accidental death theory was posed.

In 1959, teenagers James Denovan and Anthony Miller devised a scheme to rob homosexual men in Queen’s Park Recreation Ground in Glasgow. They exploited the fact that homosexuality was illegal, knowing their victims would be unlikely to report the crimes. This continued until April 1960, when one of their victims, John Cremin, was killed. Initially, his death was thought to be accidental, but a post-mortem revealed that John had been murdered.

Part One:

It may be the oldest profession, but it is also one of the most deadly, was a statement in an article in the Glasgow Times, after the body of an eighth sex worker in Glasgow was found, after these very vulnerable women had been working in fear for their lives for over a decade. Was there a serial killer stalking and killing these women, or were there multiple murderers walking the streets of Glasgow?

Part Two:

By February 1998, seven Glasgow sex workers had been found dead, many brutally attacked, leaving Glasgow sex workers fearing for their lives. While police continued to state that there was nothing so far linking the deaths and that a serial killer was not at work, others had begun to wonder if this was in fact the case, with one newspaper posing the question “Which is worse: One killer on the loose or perhaps as many as seven, who thus far have gotten away with murder?”

In part two we tell you about a further three sex workers murders, being that of Jacqueline Gallagher, Tracy Wylde and Margo Lafferty, and whether their murder inquiries would lead to anyone being convicted.
