Today, forensic science catches more killers than ever. Following a crime-scene-to-court format, three-part series Crime Scenes Scotland: Forensics Squad gains unique access to Scotland’s world-class forensic scientists exploring the techniques used to solve some of Scotland’s most notorious murders: Programme One: TX Date Angelika Kluk (2006): 23-year-old Polish student Angelika Kluk was brutally raped and murdered by serial killer Peter Tobin in 2006, her body concealed in a void beneath the floor of St. Patrick's Church, Glasgow. Church handyman Tobin was found guilty of raping and murdering Kluk in 2007 and was sentenced to life imprisonment, to serve a minimum of 21 years. He was subsequently revealed as a serial killer and charged with the murders of Vicky Hamilton and Dinah McNicol. Kriss Donald (2004): 15-year-old schoolboy Kriss Donald was kidnapped, tortured and murdered in a unprovoked attack by an Asian gang in Glasgow’s Pollokshields. Three of the gang then fled to Pakistan after the crime to evade justice. Daanish Zahid was first to face trial and, once extradited from Pakistan, Imran Shahid, Zeeshan Shahid, and Mohammed Faisal Mustaq were also found guilty of racially motivated murder – the first conviction of this kind in Scottish legal history. Programme Two: TX Date Moira Jones (2008): 40-year-old businesswoman Moira Jones was abducted, beaten, raped and murdered in Glasgow’s Queens Park, just yards from her home. Her body was discovered the following morning by a park ranger. Slovakian Marek Harcar was jailed in April 2009 for at least 25 years for Moira’s murder, following his attempts to evade capture by fleeing to the Czech Republic and then Slovakia. Eleni Pachou (2008): Hard-working 25-year-old Eleni came to Scotland from Greece to start a new life following the death of her mother. Working as a trainee manager in a popular west end pizzeria in Glasgow, Eleni was viciously stabbed to death for one night’s takings (£1320.55) by former colleague Juan Carlos Crispin whose lover, the restaurant’s cleaner Marion Hinshelwood was convicted of culpable homicide. On the night of the murder, Crispin turned up at the restaurant as Eleni was locking up, striking after tricking his way in. Programme Three: TX Date Jolanta Bledaite (2008): Lithuanian Jolanta Bledaite, 35, was murdered in cold blood for her savings by Vitas Plytnykas and Aleksandras Skirda before cutting off her head and hands and dumping them along with her torso in the sea off Arbroath Harbour. The killers planned what they thought was the perfect murder. They bound, gagged, tortured and murdered the migrant worker at the flat she shared with Skirda in Brechin, Angus. Carol Jarvis (2009): Carol Jarvis, 47, from Bathgate was murdered by her husband, Harry, her body hidden under the floorboards of their West Lothian home. His lover, Rita Heyster, who lived in a shed in the garden of the Jarvis’ marital home was convicted of helping to conceal the murder. John Kennedy (2012): 63-year-old John Kennedy from Dundee was stabbed to death by his 44- year-old neighbour, Michael Nolan in April 2012. Nolan inflicted 82 knife wounds on his neighbour for reasons that remain unknown. Featuring forensic evidence and interviews with Tom Nelson, Director of SPA Forensic Services; Forensic Scientists Carol Weston, Pauline McSorley and Ruth Ramage; Forensic Pathologist, Marjorie Turner; Crime Scene Examiner Michael Young; Police Scotland detectives Derek Robertson and Robbie Allan; and Donald Findlay QC, amongst others, Crime Scenes Scotland: Forensics Squad is a Glasgow Films production for BBC Scotland.

Fresh from taking on double Olympic champion Mo Farah in September’s Great North Run, Ethiopian legend Haile Gebrselassie tops the billing for the Glasgow-hosted Great Scottish Run. Despite the Emperor’s advancing years the 40-year-old two-time Olympic champion still should be the man to beat in the half-marathon showdown in Scotland. It’s not just the elite athletes taking part though, with the Great Scottish Run being Scotland’s largest mass participation event. BBC Two will be on the ground with the 10k and half marathon runners, cheering them on to the finishing line.

Lorna Gardner / Gary McQueen TUESDAY 8 OCTOBER TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS / BBC WEEK 41 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ River City Tuesday 8 October BBC One Scotland HD, 8.00 – 9.00pm This week in Shieldinch…Gabriel’s shattered to discover Gareth’s dead and braces himself to break the bad news to Nicole; Stella’s reluctant to go public about her rekindled relationship with Stevie; and Gabriel makes an enemy in Billy Kennedy but catches the attention of Mandy. Keeping his promise to Nicole, Gabriel goes in search of Gareth but is shocked when DCI Donald announces he’s been found dead. Leyla returns to Shieldinch to support new mum Nicole but she’s distracted by thoughts of Gareth. Gabriel reluctantly breaks the news of Gareth’s death to a devastated Nicole who admits she feared the worst – Gareth would never just leave them. Nicole reveals to Gabriel and Leyla that Gareth turned police informant before he died, further fuelling Gabriel’s suspicion about Billy and the danger he poses to the Brodies’. A guilt-ridden DCI Donald visits Nicole, revealing he died to protect her and Grace. Heartbroken, Nicole takes solace from the fact that Gareth loved her and is touched when DCI Donald offers to pay for his funeral. Fiercely protective of his family, Gabriel lashes out when he sees Billy approach Zinnie and baby Grace in the street. Reacting furiously, he punches Billy in the face, much to his humiliation but, strangely, Mandy’s amusement. Stevie wants to tell everyone he’s back with Stella but she’s not so keen. When Scarlett discovers their secret she reacts furiously, attempting to publicly shame them. However, Bob admits he’s ready to forgive and forget, even if his mother won’t. Gabriel is played by Garry Sweeney, Nicole by Holly Jack, Stella by Keira Lucchesi, Stevie by Paul James Corrigan, Billy Kennedy by Alexander Morton, Mandy by Julie Austin, DCI Donald by Robin Laing, Leyla by Maryam Hamidi, Zinnie by Nalini Chetty, Scarlett by Sally Howitt and Bob by Stephen Purdon.
