In April 1981, 74-year-old Eliza Connelly was found dead in her home in a quiet residential area in Broughty Ferry in Dundee. She had 12 wounds to her head, two on her hands, fractured ribs, and blood was found everywhere from the floor to the ceiling.

We may never know the true motive behind why Andrew took the lives of five innocent people, but what we do know, is that they deserve to be remembered and they deserved to live their lives to the fullest, but Andrew took that away from them.
