The Restaurant: Episode 367

Always True Crime
About this episode
Euan Johnston went for dinner with a friend in the centre of Glasgow, but whilst he was eating he was unaware he was being watched. And when he left, the Audi pulled out behind his car and followed, waiting for the right time.

The traffic lights offered the opportunity and the gunman jumped out of the car and fired three shots at Euan at point blank range. At just 26, Euan died from his injuries.

But who killed him and left two children without a father? And why?
