Ep 103: The Dundee School Shooting & Carstairs Axe Murders


This week Emma tells us the story of the 2 seperate crime rampages carried out by a man named Robert Mone - the Dundee School Shooting & the Carstairs Axe Murders.
Emma describes the terrifying events at the school in Dundee and how Mone was locked up for this violent incident for 9 years, before escaping from the psychiatric facility where he had been held.
We also hear about how Mone and an accomplice carried out another brutal spate of violent attacks once free, and the aftermath of Mone's campaign of violence.
