Scotcast
Contains some violent scenes and some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting.

Kimberly Milne jumped from a bridge on the A90 in 2023. At first her death was treated as unexplained. But three years later her husband Lee Milne was jailed for culpable homicide. So how did prosecutors decide, in a legal first, to charge a man with killing his wife – even though she ended her own life? Martin Geissler gets the inside story from the head of the Crown Office John Logue, and hears from Guardian journalist Geraldine McKelvie about her investigation into domestic abuse-related suicides. Scotcast is the BBC’s Scottish news podcast.
