Case Reopened: The Dunblane Massacre

About this episode

The episode revisits the Dunblane Massacre, reflecting on the tragic event and its lasting impact on the community and gun laws in the UK.

As we move between the end of Season 14 and the start of Season 15, we’re opening the Seeing Red archives. This week, we’re revisiting four cases that took place in the month of March across different years — remembering the victims and reflecting on crimes that continue to leave a lasting impact. These episodes come from earlier in our catalogue, so you may notice a difference in audio quality as our production has evolved over time. We’ll be back with our Season 15 premiere on Wednesday 18 March. In March 1996, 16 children and their teacher, Gwen Mayor, were murdered when a gunman entered Dunblane Primary School in Scotland. The attack devastated families, shocked the nation, and led to sweeping changes in UK gun laws. In this episode, we remember the young lives lost and the lasting impact on a community forever changed. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
