Kidnap for ransom: The search for Muriel McKay (Pt 2)

29 min • 29 juli 2024

In 1969, 55-year-old Muriel McKay, the wife of a Sun newspaper executive, was abducted for a million-pound ransom. She was killed, but her body was never found, and two men were jailed for her murder in the country’s first conviction without a body. 


But more than fifty years on, what happened to Muriel remains a mystery, and the McKay family have been desperate for answers. Their quest for the truth brings them face to face with Muriel’s killer.


This is the second part of a two-part investigation into the case. Listen to Part 1
