Description

The relatives of Scots Guardsman Paul McGee were mightily relieved when he left Basra and returned to Scotland to do recruiting work. They felt that they could relax now that he was back safely. But they were wrong, as they discovered to their horror one night in October 2009.

The hangmen, their job done, were seen heading for the station, each carrying a black bag and smoking a cigar. Their “client” would turn out to have been the last person hanged at the city’s prison.
