About This Program
Hazel Martin investigates the character of Michael Ross, the man convicted of his Shamsuddin Mahmood's murder, to assess if a 15-year-old would have been capable of such a brutal and cold-blooded act. Hazel also explores the background of the victim and uncovers a story of two hitmen who used to live near him before he came to Orkney. Could they have committed the murder instead?
