Lucy MCarthur

Lucy MCarthur was murdered in her dairy shop at 1122 Dumbarton Road, Whiteinch, Glasgow on the night of 7 November 1904.

She was bound and gagged with a red handkerchief. Two handkerchiefs had been used, a gentleman's white cotton one which was thrust into her mouth and another red cotton one that was tied around her head to keep the white one from coming out. It was thought that she had come to her senses and freed the handkerchief from her mouth and started screaming and was then hit by one of the men with an axe hammer, killing her.
