The Murder of Patricia Curran (Pt2): Why wasn't her family investigated?
Manage episode 435463727 series 3379610
Patricia Curran’s mutilated body was discovered just 40 yards from her home at 2 o’clock in the morning on the 13th of November 1952.
She was a judge’s daughter – savagely stabbed to death - the pressure was on to find her killer.
An innocent - but compromised man - Ian Hay Gordon, was eventually blackmailed into signing a confession and sent to a Psychiatric hospital – only to be quietly released and packed off to home to Scotland.
In this episode of the BelTel, Journalist Stephen Gordon, tells us about meeting Patricia’s brother Desmond – who spent his life as a Catholic Priest in South Africa – a life some think was an act of redemption.
And we ask the biggest question of all – if Ian Hay Gordon didn’t kill Patricia – then who did?
