William Beggs is wanted in connection to the murder of Barry Wallace but has fled the country and handed himself in to police in Amsterdam, hoping to benefit from their robust extradition laws. He claims that he won’t stand a fair trial due to the press coverage of the case in Scotland. While extradition proceedings take place, Strathclyde Police use the time to build a strong case against Beggs. They return to his flat in the hope of finding additional forensic evidence. At the same time, they uncover more attacks linked to Beggs and make a crucial breakthrough when a new witness comes forward. Back in Amsterdam, Beggs is about to learn his fate – will he be extradited to the UK to stand trial for the murder of Barry Wallace.

After 12 months of legal wrangling, William Beggs is finally extradited from the Netherlands to Scotland, where he will be tried for the murder of 18-year-old Barry Wallace at the high court of Edinburgh.

The Crown must now prove beyond reasonable doubt that Beggs is the killer and will be relying on a former friend of the accused to give evidence.

Documentary that tells the story of the inspiring, thriving, Scottish village of Inverie on the Knoydart peninsula. Twenty-five years ago, the local community pulled together to buy the land from private owners, securing its future for them and the many who travel there.
