Episode 73: George Murdoch. This week Emma brings us the story of George Murdoch, a 58-year-old taxi driver who was the victim of a seemingly random murder in 1983.
We hear how George was having a completely ordinary night in his taxi prior to his death, with no indication of any arguments or vendettas that could explain the fatal attack.
Emma describes the bizarre facts of the case, from the odd route of the taxi to the unusual murder weapon found at the scene.
We also hear details of the enormous effort of the police in attempting to solve this case, with thousands of people being questioned and examined, and the ongoing efforts to try and deliver George's killer to justice.
