S06E04 | Iain Scoular | The Murders of Catherine McChord and Elizabeth Walton

In the fourth episode of British Murders Season 6, I tell the story of Scottish double murderer Iain Scoular.

Between October 1, 1982, and December 2, 1982, Iain Scoular murdered 36-year-old taxi driver Catherine McChord and 48-year-old midwife Elizabeth Walton in Cambuslang, Scotland.

Initially, the police did not link the two murders. They had no suspects until Iain strolled into the police caravan HQ and told them he'd seen a stranger acting suspiciously on the night of Elizabeth's murder.

In a bizarre turn of events, Iain's mum Jean's testimony inadvertently led to her son's capture.

Iain was handed two life sentences on June 6, 1983, with a minimum term of 20 years.

He was released from prison in 2003.
