The heartbroken wife of a taxi driver brutally murdered in Aberdeen with a cheese wire endured two decades of torture as she searched for answers over her husband's death.
George 'Dod' Murdoch and his wife Jessie had been happily married for 37 years prior to his death on Thursday, September 29, 1983. The 58-year-old was working night shift and picked up a fare on Queen's Road in Aberdeen before he was pounced on by his attacker after he turned onto Pitfodels Station Road, on the outskirts of the Granite City, at around 8.35pm.
The cold killer fashioned the cheese wire into a garotte and left the weapon dumped near the scene of the crime. No arrests were ever made in connection with George's death, much to wife Jessie's dismay, and she died in 2004 without ever seeing anyone charged.
