S11E06 | The Murder of Kenneth Syme (Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire, 1995)

In this episode, I tell the story of Kenneth Syme, a 48-year-old man killed in Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire, on January 1, 1995.Kenneth attended a Hogmanay party at a tenement in Faifley, close to his home, and was later thrown out of a third-floor window by Kenneth McGuire over an alleged debt he was owed.Somehow, Kenneth Syme survived that fall and was brought back up to the flat, where he was promptly thrown out of the same window once more by McGuire, killing him.Three men were initially charged with murder, but one of the accused turned on the others and became a key witness for the prosecution.McGuire received a life sentence in April 1995 with a minimum term of 15 years for Kenneth's murder, with Michael Fay receiving a nine-year sentence for attempted murder.For all things British Murders, please visit my website:⁣britishmurders.com⁣Intro music:⁣David John Brady - 'Throw Down the Gauntlet'⁣linktr.ee/davidjohnbradymusic⁣References:⁣britishmurders.com/kennethsyme Hosted on Acast.
