Ayrshire Murders

Product Information

The men quickly informed the Fortacres farmer (who identified the victim) and Robert Hendry, the toll keeper. One change that has been made as a result of the family's campaign is that as of last year, new legislation was put in place which allows victims and their families to attend parole hearings in person.

We are absolutely devastated by Emma’s death and her not being with us has left a tremendous void in all our lives. In this episode, I tell the story of Catherine Kelly, a 71-year-old woman killed in Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire, on February 11, 2017. Wilson – who stabbed 17-year-old Michelle to death in the East Ayrshire village of Drongan in 2008 – was refused parole yesterday with another hearing fixed for nine months' time. I'd also ask for motorists who may have dash-cams to check their footage from the street around the area, maybe between 8. The family of murdered schoolgirl Michelle Stewart can breathe a sigh of relief knowing knife fiend John Wilson will continue to be kept behind bars.The Stewart family have tirelessly campaigned to see Michelle’s Law introduced which would see changes to the justice system, including the setting up of ‘exclusion zones’ upon an offender’s release, prompted by Wilson being spotted in and around Ayr numerous times while on supervised leave since 2018. The 23-year-old from Crosshouse was rushed to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital with life threatening injuries after the crash, where he later died. However, when Mr Shanks appeared at the High Court in Glasgow again last week, the prosecution and defence jointly asked for another new trial date to be fixed.

Forty-two-year-old Ross Willox was today (Tuesday, 25 May, 2021) convicted at the High Court in Glasgow of the murder of Emma Faulds (39) in Monkton, Ayrshire, on Sunday, 28 April, 2019. Jason Bell, 49, Dee Black, 40, Ryan Hill, 25, and Michelle Ramage, 41, all from Ayr, appeared at the town's sheriff court this afternoon. Two days before the sentence was to be carried out McWheelan became very religious [1] and on the day itself, upon his head being covered with the hood and the rope around his neck, he stood praying beneath the gallows for 15 minutes with no one being quite sure if he should be interrupted as he was supposed to drop a handkerchief to signal that he was ready. A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal, but police have confirmed they are treating the man’s death as suspicious. Michelle’s brother Kenny jnr, a nurse, performed CPR on her at the scene in a desperate attempt to save his sister.

They want to ensure that offenders are not located in areas near families of those they've hurt after fearing Wilson could move back to Ayrshire when he's eventually released from prison, following sightings of him in Ayr on day release. Having had his suspicions raised the farmer made enquiries and discovering that a murder and thefts had taken place, turned back, caught up with McWheelan near Paisley and apprehended him, passing him to the police there who quickly discovered his true identity and took him to Kilmarnock. For another, the job she turns out to have been hired for—leading an investigation her new boss doesn’t feel he can entrust to his own force—makes her queasy.

Such was the notoriety of the murder and sympathy for the victim that passers by took to leaving a stone at the spot to create a cairn (NS 39979 34140) that grew to a fairly considerable size. The chisel, a napkin found on the road and the silver watch belonging to the murdered man were all known to have been in the possession of the accused man.So, when Sir Thomas and Lancelot reach the dunes by St Leonards chapel on 11th May, eight men, including Auchindrain’s eldest son, ambush them from behind the hedgerows.
