Summary

In this episode of British Murders, I am told the story of George Murdoch by Dawn of Scottish Murders Podcast.

At around 8 pm on September 29, 1983, local taxi driver George Murdoch picked up a fare from the New Marcliffe Hotel on Queens Road, Aberdeen.

A short time later, he was found dead by the roadside. He was the victim of a brutal and cruel murder.

39 years later, George's killer has still not been found.

His case was featured on Crimewatch on March 14, 2022, and the information reward has recently increased to £25,000.

0:00.0	You are now listening to British Murders.
0:03.5	Let's for a podcast.
0:18.2	Hello everyone and welcome to British Murders, the podcast that focuses exclusively on British
0:23.6	murder cases with an occasional glimpse at horror movies.

0:40.5	Dawn. Thank you. One of the most requested things I have from my listeners is, Stuart, you don't

1:20.7	You would do that as well.
