Episode 86: Philip Murray
from Murder She Spoke Hosted by Joannagh Shanks & Emma Taylor
Episode 86: Philip Murray. This week we go back to the Roaring 20's for the story of Philip Murray - the last man hanged at Calton Jail. Joannagh tells us about life in Edinburgh and some of the city's notable events of the time. We also hear about Philip Murray and the alcohol fuelled rage that drove him to commit the murder for which he would later be hanged at Calton jail, before HMP Slaughton took over as the site for executions. Joannagh provides details of what imprisonment at Calton jail was like, and the legacy the prison left behind after its closure.
