1. Diane McInally

from Beware Book

The body of the 23-year-old Diane McInally was discovered in Pollok Park, Glasgow, in October 1991. She had been beaten and strangled. Two men were charged with her murder in March 1992 but there was insufficient evidence to try them. There are also persistent rumours that Diane was murdered because she was due to be a key prosecution witness in a drug trial. Hear from Diane’s auntie and cousin – two of her few surviving relatives – as we discuss these theories. The words of a family devastated by drugs, death and another murder. We’ll tell you a little about the murder of Emma Caldwell too. Her killer was recently convicted, and the court case was covered by hosts Collette and Callum for Clyde 1. It would prove the catalyst for their investigation into the other unsolved murders. Also hear about a missing piece of evidence from the investigation into Emma’s murder, the Beware Book. A tattered leather journal women involved in prostitution in Glasgow used to share warnings about the most dangerous clients. -If you’ve been affected by any of the issues raised in this podcast and need mental-health support or want to talk about your feelings, visit the Hub of Hope to find services in your area.  If you think you might have information about any of the people we’ve mentioned you can get in touch with us at [email protected]  Written, created, presented and produced by Collette McGonigle  Presented and produced by Callum McQuade  Executive Producers - Laurence Bassett & Henrietta Harrison  Sound Design - James Stodd & Michelle Homan  Designer - Ben Watkins  Production Manager - Sarah Nicholls  Legal Counsel - Jonathan McNaul for Bauer Media Group and Caroline Marshall for Reviewed & Cleared  Head of Production - Cat Moran  Chief Creative Officer, Podcasts - Lucie Cave  Director of News and Sport, Scotland and Northern Ireland - Lorraine Herbison Hollinshead  Beware Book is a Rayo Original podcast by Bauer Media
