It was June 6th, 2018,and 27-year-old Steven Donaldson was enjoying some time playing with his youngest sister Loris, children in the garden of the Donaldson family home in Arbroath in Angus on the North coast of Scotland.....TRIGGER WARNINGSThis case does contain torture and explanation of injuries which could be hard for some to hear, I do give a warning before the most graphic parts.ALSO contains ONE account regarding the mistreatment of an animal.Episode written and researched by Gem.Please follow us on our socials: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FACEBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ , ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠ .REFERENCES My main source for this episode was The Courier, and I used A LOT of articles which I will number below.
