Monsters Of Ayrshire: Part 3 - The Beast...

Always True Crime
About this episode
Our Monsters Of Ayrshire trilogy concludes this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, where, alongside the horrific murder of Mhairi Julyan, we learn of some of the other evil acts that Gavin McGuire is responsible for, and the reasons why I considered that one word befitting of him over so many others:

Monster.

The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including those of a sexual nature, and descriptions of extreme animal cruelty, that some listeners may find disturbing and/or upsetting, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
