Episode 3
Edi Stark hears from detectives, forensic scientists and prosecutors, who tell the story of how Angus Sinclair was eventually convicted of the World's End murders in 2014.
The 1977 murders of Helen Scott and Christine Eadie cast a long shadow over Edinburgh; one detective described it as a feeling of "loss of innocence" in the city.
The subsequent investigation ran from 1977 to 2014 touching the lives of detectives and forensic experts, legal professionals and journalists. Edi Stark hears their remarkable story.
In the final episode of this three part series Edi Stark explores how the outcry over the collapse of the 2007 trial led to a change in law, spurring detectives on in the search for new evidence to bring the case against Angus Sinclair back to court.
Edi meets the Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland who cross-examined Sinclair at the 2014 trial. We speak with soil expert Lorna Dawson about how her new analysis of 30-year-old gave detectives new hope and to Kevin Scott, Helen's brother, about how the death of his sister and the subsequent investigation affected his family.
