The University Murders

Author: Richard Macandrew

I want to tell a little story about one Edinburgh's student Clare Rutheford. This is young woman with blond hair, mid twenties, possibly a bit younger. She finished her degree course at Edinburgh's University a couple of years ago and stayed to do some research. She is in the Computer Science department. The girl is very popular between guys, she doesn't have a boyfriend, but she has a lot of friends. Clare is from New Zealand. Her grandparents were Scots - that's why she came to Edinburgh to university. She was always excellent student: intelligent, hard-working. But her beautiful life ended at midnight on Calton Hill on Tuesday. She was found by police officer early in the morning. She was wearing a pink T-shirt and dark blue skirt. Dead. Somebody strangled this poor girl and left lying on the grass.
