- he infamous Manuel was an American-Scottish serial killer who killed at least eight people between 1956 - 1958 in Lanarkshire, Scotland. Manuel had previously been in prison for a string of sexual attacks but on his release it didn’t take long for his psychopathic behaviour to escalate.
During the murders he fell under the police’s radar several times but each time was let go, free to kill further. He even gave a lift to a policeman and suggested to him that they were looking in the wrong places for one of the victims. Once it was known a serial killer was loose there was public panic but Manuel was eventually tracked down in a Glasgow pub.
He sensationally defended himself in court but although he put up a good argument his guilt was obvious to all and he was hanged at Barlinnie Prison. - Zábava
That poor woman. To have a loved one murdered is horrific. To be a good person and be the mother of the murderer must be it's own hell. This is a good channel, not overly dramatized and well researched. I appreciate that.
Excellent video ... James G Nunn did a superb job of acting as well as Lyndsay Beuchamp, who played the Mum
Simon Wright did a great job on the video about Ruth Ellis too. They have some real quality actors on these shows.
It sure is nice to see someone spell Mum the same way I do. Getting it spelt Mum on her birthday cake was an ordeal!
Scottish heritage, perhaps?
I don’t think there is any stronger a witness than a mother testifying against her own child. Nothing would tear a mother apart more and no testimony could be more damaging against him and heartbreaking for her. Looks like she was the only family member with a sense of right and wrong, truth and honor. What a terrible position to put his own mother in.
Great series. For a mother to admit that of her son, must have torn her apart. It takes courage to (finally) do the right thing….No possibility she is being anything less than truthful. 41:14
I lived near a couple whose only son murdered his ex-girlfriend in their home. They sold the home, moved away, and never visited their son in prison. I can’t imagine their grief.
Hard to realize you've spawned a monster.
The dramatisations in this series are brilliant 🎉 Excellent 👍🏽
His poor mother. As a parent you wonder what you could have done differently, I'm sure she blamed herself. Who knows what really causes a person to turn out like this. Can you imagine being his mother and suspecting and then being talked out of it and then another murder or assault happening and being in doubt all over again? Ugh.
Imagine whst Hitler's mother must have felt...
Good on the mother, that could not have been easy.
If the father had been an honest man, lives could have been saved, not to mention his obstruction of justice. It is frustrating that he didn't get thrown into prison as well.
Completely agreed! He’s no better than his murderer son
He did get thrown into prison, but his confession lead to his dad's release like they said, and without the confession the mother wouldn't have told the court what he said... did you not watch the episode?
Seriously if I had a son like this,
I would save the tax payers the cost of a trial and take care of the problem myself. 😡
Sociopaths are born everywhere. His fiancé was fortunate to heed the warning. Enjoying your content very much. Thank you.
If the parents hadn't been in denial for so long, many woman would have been spared.
If the jury hadn’t believed his story in the rape case, then perhaps he wouldn’t have become so bold in regards to his criminal activities😢
@@chinavaughan6383That’s unlikely. He’d serve his time and come out even more dangerous. Serial killers tend to have extensive criminal histories before they’ve actually started to kill people. Being arrested and convicted of lesser crimes won’t deter them at all, unfortunately.
I feel like they’re just as bad as him because if it weren’t for them, he may have been caught much sooner
An excellent show... Love it
His parents excused his evil monstrous behavior no matter the evidence!!?🙏😢⚖️🤔❣️
What a terrible man he was, my heart goes out to the victims and his parents too because it must be hard to learn your child is a sick murderer.
If murder was a foot, was burglary an arm? Or … no?
😅
Don't remember these murders 1956-1958 ? could be I was only 3yrs old at the time
What a story!
The lawyer is listed as QC (I think that means queens counsel). Now that Charles is King, will it change to KC? I am an American so truly have no idea.
Yes. Every QC is now a KC.
It broke heart ❤️ for the mom she really loved him so very much I beat her life wasn’t any better to have face her son and her tell the truth must broke to no I just killed my own son RIP to all he’s victim and he’s parents
Gives paid to the theory that all serial killers have at least one abusive and/or unloving parent
3:48 PARKOUR ???
