Episode 105: June Cruickshank and George Forbes
This week Emma tells us of the killings of 2 children in Aberdeen in the 1960's, 6-year-old June Cruickshank and 7-year-old George Forbes.
Emma describes how June was found in a critical condition after a seemingly random act of violence with no clear motive. June would die a short time later.
We hear how there were very few leads in the case, with appeals being made to the public at football matches and through newspaper articles and TV interviews.
Emma tells us how the case hit a dead end until, nearly 3 years later, the killer would strike again.
