Inside Murder Trial

<p>The discovery of a body is always a dramatic moment in court. This episode hears from the first on the scene – from neighbours, to paramedics, and police, as Brian Low is found deceased, with his labrador Millie loyally by his side. </p><p>We’ll hear how Brian’s death was initially thought not to be suspicious – perhaps stemming from a medical episode rather than foul play. And we’ll hear evidence around how long he may have been in the lane before he was found. </p><p>As the day continues –

<p>Having already heard about David Campbell’s temper, todays episode moves on to the relationship between him and the victim, Brian Low. The court hears that they were colleagues, who didn’t always see eye-to-eye. </p><p>And we hear evidence about an incident, more than a decade earlier, which might have cemented ill feeling between them. </p><p>Later in court – attention turns to an incident in 2023, just three months before the murder. A man is seen riding a bike, close to the location where

<p>When Brian Low was murdered on a quiet country lane in Perthshire, it required an intense police investigation. He had been out walking his dog when he was apparently gunned down. But this isn’t a place where gun crime is common. Murder is almost unheard of. And Brian had few enemies. </p><p>Over the following months, detectives speak to hundreds of witnesses, take dozens of statements, and gradually piece together a case. Their suspect is an unlikely one, a 77-year-old former gamekeeper, who

<p>A brand new season of Inside Murder Trial is coming soon. In ‘Death of a Dog Walker’ – Jane MacSorley and Tommy Ross KC lead listeners through the extraordinary trial of David Campbell – a retired gamekeeper accused of shooting dead a former colleague while he was walking his dog in a quiet country lane. But after a three week trial, will a jury find the accused guilty, or not?</p>

<p>After two weeks of evidence, the jury sit down for one last session. Each of the advocates reads a carefully curated closing speech - summarising all the key evidence and reminding the jury of the facts. But who will have the most compelling argument? Will any of the speeches sway jurors one way, or another? With nothing more to be said, the jury step away to deliberate in secret. When they return - the fate of the three accused will be revealed. Innocent, or guilty - do you think justice ha

<p>As the trial draws towards a conclusion, the jury are introduced to a science lesson. Can microscopic algae, found in the River Leven, help answer the question of whether any of the accused entered the water? The jury also hears from some police officers involved in the original enquiry, finding out why the accused weren't brought before a court at the time. And as the final witness completes their testimony, the jury are sent away, ahead of the closing speeches, and the opportunity to reach

<p>After seven days of evidence for the prosecution, it's time for the defence to lead the evidence. And they start with testimony from one of the three accused. Can their account convince the jury of their innocence? Or will the cross-examination prove to be damning? Also taking the stand are two witnesses who support the idea that George Graham may be culpable. What value will the jury put on these claims?</p><p>Presented by: Jane MacSorley and Tommy Ross KC Written and Produced by: Darrell Br

<p>What did the three accused say when they were quizzed by detectives? As the prosecution case comes to a close, we hear extracts form those interviews. We learn how all three insist they had nothing to do with Caroline's death. And hear the observations of the officers tasked with obtaining their account. Then - in a dramatic twist - the prosecution announce that one of the charges in the case is set to be dropped. What does this mean for the rest of the trial? </p><p>Presented by: Jane MacSor
