This popped up on my YouTube suggestions , possibly as I’d watched another Glasgow Crime clip . Thanks for making this , never heard of McInnes , despite living not that far away in Knightswood… what a rank badjin he must have been , horrible person. Please keep making these 👍
Subscribed and liked I will have to rewatch this I would have listened to another 20 minutes harrowing story of evil incarnate. The connections really gave a sense of being there and thanking my lucky stars I wasn't.
I am pretty sure that Gerald walked home with my cousin that night and they parted ways as they neared home, the police were hammering on my Aunties door in the middle of the night looking for Gerald as he didnt make it home! It absolutely devastated my cousin. I was very young at the time but I remember this happening.
Stumbled across this and watched it mostly because my mum was born in Clydebank. I was very surprised to see Allison Street in Govanhill get a mention - that's where we lived until I was six years old, just a few doors up, at number 273.
We moved away in 1969, which I think was a couple of years after the murders you mentioned. I remember my parents talking about it, I think. Wasn't it a siege or something?
My sister lived right above the guy he was an ex copper himself who got sacked and he took up armed robbery.The best of it was it was two 9f his ez ex colleagues that just called round tae see how he was doin an he panicked a started blasting the cop shop was just on the other road they came from everywhere an there was a big shootout in the street and close I'll never forget the noise and the screaming the most incredible thing I've been in valved in in my life an I'm now 60.
I was a young boy and very immature and lived in Kingston Place Dalmuir. I met big 'Abe' on the dual carriageway in Dalmuir one evening and said hello. I was met with a grunt, thank god he walked away. He was arrested shortly after this. He was indeed a very strange individual. Brian i stayed at 26 Kingston Place and knew yourself and many others in the scheme.
Allison Street murders were 68-69 my sister lived above the copper that got nicked 51 Allison street I was in her house the day it awe kicked off and will take it tae my grave I was about 5 or 6 year auld.
I do remember this murder in the coosie but i was only young at the time. Was 'big Albe' the bloke that roamed dalmuir and the park with the doberman dogs ?
