A Brutal Murder

Seeing Red
About this episode

This week we head back to 1996 and to Scotland, as we take a look at the horrific and brutal murder of 15-year-old school boy Lawrence Haggart.

Lawrence was a conscientious and talented boy who loved football. But he would never get to realise his dreams of becoming a professional footballer. His short life came to an abrupt and tragic end following a brutal and bloody attack in his own home.

Join us as we discuss the aftermath of this violent attack and the repercussions it had on Lawrence's family for years to come.
