This week Emma brings us the story of Jill Barclay, a 47-year-old mother of two from Aberdeen, who would be killed in a horrendous attack in September 2022. We hear about the quick police work that uncovered the identity of the killer and the attempts he made to evade capture. Emma tells us of the impact this crime had in the wider community, with activist groups organising events to demand action in making the streets safer and preventing violence against women.
