Murder of Edinburgh woman to be analysed by forensic experts in new Sky Crime documentary

The story of an Edinburgh woman who was tortured and murdered by her neighbour will be investigated by forensic experts as part of a documentary on Sky Crime.
Elaine Collie was 46 when she let her neighbour, John ‘Jock’ Reid, into her home. The brute then proceeded to hit Elaine over the head with a weapon, tie her to a bed and gag her with a towel.

Now the case will be looked at in more detail on Sky Crime. The show, called ‘Forensics: Catching The Killer’, will air at 9pm on Thursday, February 9 as well as at 11pm on Friday February 10.
True North Productions described the documentary as an explanation of how detectives solved the case thanks to in-depth forensic investigations.
A spokesperson said: “There will also be interviews from the former West Lothian and Borders detective and the forensic scientist who solved the case, as well as another of Reid’s victims – who was
