Episode 72: Paige Doherty

from Murder She Spoke Hosted by Joannagh Shanks & Emma Taylor

Episode 72: Paige Doherty. This week Joannagh brings us the story of Paige Doherty of Clydebank, who was cruelly murdered at the age of just 15 years old. We hear how the alarm was raised when Paige did not arrive at her weekend job and how the investigation traced her last movements to a Deli in her hometown of Clydebank As well as the savage nature of the attack, we hear how the callousness of the killer continued during the investigation and beyond, with false accusations being made about Paige and the killer's eventual sentence being appealed. Joannagh also talks of the legacy left by Paige, with hundreds of people attending her funeral and her family starting the charity Paige's Promise in her memory.
