Episode 84: Kevin McLeod. This week Joannagh brings us the story of Kevin McLeod, a 24-year-old from Caithness, who died in peculiar circumstances in February 1997.
Joannagh details some of the odd details of the case which led to various theories emerging from the police, and also the wider community, around the circumstances of Kevin's death.
We hear how Kevin's family made various complaints about how the investigation had been handled, believing that crucial steps were not taken and that viable lines of enquiry were not followed.
Joannagh describes how, over the course of over 20 years, several reviews into the investigation and the conduct of the police were carried out, with the findings only recently being released.
