A Glasgow Feud: Episode 11

Always True Crime

About this episode

Today we head north of the border to Scotland. This episode of the weekly UK True Crime Podcast examines a feud between two Glasgow families over a number of years which have left one man dead and several others injured - so far. We look at the reasons for the escalation of tensions and review the difficulties faced by the Police in dealing with situations where members of a tight-knit community are unwilling to give evidence.
