Conviction: Murder in Suburbia, BBC2, 9pm
IN 2003, Glyn Razzell was convicted of murdering his wife, Linda. Her body has never been found and he has always protested his innocence. In the first of a two-parter led by Louise Shorter, experts in forensic science, policing and law re-examine the case to see if any new evidence could challenge the conviction. The key evidence was that Linda’s blood was found in the boot of the car her estranged husband was driving on that day. Specialists hear how this blood wasn’t found until the third police search. Glyn has always said the blood was planted and Linda’s death was staged. Blood experts review the forensic evidence presented at trial to see if they agree.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
