BBC viewers are set to witness two compelling new cases explored in the award-winning documentary series 𝐌𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 Trial later this year. Two episodes, titled D3ath of a Dog Walker, will focus on groundsman Brian Low, who was tragically k!lled in February 2024 in Aberfeldy.
Brian was 𝐦𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 while walking his dog along a remote country path in Highland Perthshire. Although his d3ath was initially considered non-suspicious, a full 𝐌𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 investigation was launched after shotgun pellets were found by the pathologist in Brian’s body bag.

His former colleague David Campbell, an ex-gamekeeper, now stands accused of shooting Brian after allegedly disabling a CCTV camera at his nearby home, reports Glasgow Live.
A synopsis for the two 60-minute episodes reads: “Campbell, who was described by people who knew him as a Jekyll and Hyde character, is accused of trying to cover his tracks after 𝐦𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 Brian, whom he held a grudge against. But, in a case which is built almost entirely from circumstantial evidence, will the jury find him innocent or guilty?”
A further two episodes will meanwhile examine the d3ath of 28-year-old Kimberly Bruce, who plunged to her d3ath from a motorway bridge in Dundee in July 2023.

Titled Culpable Homicide, the BBC documentary will delve into the landmark legal case as Kimberly’s husband, Lee, faces trial on charges of culpable homicide and domestic abuse, marking the first prosecution of its kind in Scotland.

A synopsis reads: “Prosecutors say that the 28-year-old had suffered significant domestic violence at the hands of her husband in the 18 months prior to her d3ath. But as the defence draw on complex aspects of Kimberly’s personal life in order to defend Milne, will the jury find him guilty beyond reasonable doubt and in doing so, make UK legal history?
“With extraordinary access to the Scottish courts, the police investigators and the victim’s families, 𝐌𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 Trial features interviews with prosecution and defence teams, taking viewers inside these two high-profile cases.”

Head of Commissioning at BBC Scotland, Louise Thornton, said: “𝐌𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 Trial continues to provide the audience with exceptional access to Scotland’s courts and justice system. These two new cases are a compelling watch of the level audiences have come to expect from this award winning series.”
Both cases will be available to view on BBC Scotland, BBC Two and BBC iPlayer, while a brand new 10-part podcast series, Inside The 𝐌𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 Trial, has also been commissioned, with both productions brought to screen by Firecrest Films.

Vari Innes, Executive Producer at Firecrest Films, added: “We are proud to be returning to the BBC and the High Courts with these two exceptional cases. Filmed over several years, D3ath of a Dog Walker features unprecedented access – from day one of the 𝐌𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 investigation through to verdict at Glasgow High Court.
“Woman on the Bridge charts a landmark case, highlighting vital conversations around domestic abuse and culpability. It has been an enormous privilege to be side by side with both Brian’s family and Kimberly’s family through these acutely difficult times, and we are extremely grateful to them for allowing us to show their dedicated journey to seek justice for their loved ones.”
