Episode 96: Steven Donaldson

Episode 96: Steven Donaldson. This week Joannagh tells us about the case of Steven Donaldson, a 27-year-old offshore oil and gas worker from Arbroath. We hear how Steven was in the midst of a disagreement with his ex girlfriend over money and on 6 June 2018 set off to meet with her to talk the issue through. Joannagh describes how, when Steven arrived, he was ambushed and killed after a vicious and sustained attack. We hear details of the strong reactions, from various parties, to the brutal details of the attack and the lack of remorse shown by the killers, as well as the impact the ordeal has had on Steven's family.
