When 53-year-old Linda McDonald from Dundee, UK, was walking her Jack Russell Terrier in the woods near to her home, she assumed it was a day much like any other. She was nearly done with the walk and was looking forward to a nice cup of tea back at home as the weather was chilly.
As she walked through the woods on her way back home, the last thing she expected to encounter was a convicted murderer with a dumbbell in his hand…
Walking Betsy
McDonald loved the wooded areas around her home. They were within walking distance and her dog Betsy loved playing in them during walks. At one point as dusk fell, McDonald spotted a man with no expression on his face walking towards her carrying something that appeared to be heavy. What happened next was the last thing she or her dog were expecting.
