Murdertown - Season 1, Episode 03: Dundee

When police received a call to a possible murder, in 2017, they could be forgiven for having a sense of deja vu. The details of a violent attack had all the hallmarks of an attack some twenty years earlier. But lightning couldn’t have struck twice. Could it? Dundee is an upcoming city, and growing tourist destination, but in the shadows are stories of bloodshed. And two attacks, decades apart, in some of the most iconic and picturesque parts of the city had everyone on edge. This episode examines how one man tormented the city of Dundee on two separate occasions. It hears from his latest victim, who miraculously survived, and reveals how police worked at speed to snare the attacker and ensure he was brought to justice. She tells the full story of how she feared for her life, and believed she would be the cities next murder victim, before passers-by rushed to her aid. With exclusive access to the senior officers involved in both investigations, this episode examines a shocking story which still hangs over the city.
