They Walk Among Us
About this episode

On May 12, 1958, 31-year-old, Peter Manuel went to trial at Glasgow High Court for the murder of eight people. So desperate were people to get a seat on the public benches for the trial of the infamous Beast of Birkenshaw, they queued outside the court overnight.
