The World's End murders haunted Scotland for nearly four decades. In October 1977, two seventeen-year-old friends, Christine Eadie and Helen Scott, left the World's End pub in Edinburgh's Old Town and were found murdered in the East Lothian countryside the next day. The case stayed cold for a generation, until DNA finally pointed to a man named Angus Sinclair, and a collapsed trial forced Scotland to tear up its centuries-old double jeopardy law so that he could at last be tried again, and convicted, in 2014. This is the story of two young women, the thirty-seven-year fight for justice, and the case that changed the law of a nation. On Crime at Bedtime, settle in, get comfortable, and let us tell you the story of the World's End murders.
