Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Crown officials are to be asked to investigate the possibility that a convicted rapist and sex offender who was jailed for murdering a schoolgirl may be responsible for two killings for which another man was jailed. A lawyer acting for Andrew Cameron, 30, jailed 11 years ago for the killings of two teenage girls, is to ask the Crown Office to subject samples from all the cases involved to DNA tests.
His call follows the trial last week at which Gavin McGuire, 37, jailed for 30 years by the High Court in Glasgow for the murder of 16-year-old Mhairi Julyan, a pupil at Kilmarnock Academy, who was sexually assaulted and strangled as she walked home from a pantomime. Cameron's lawyer, Joe Beltrami, said yesterday that there were strong similarities between the attacks for which his client was jailed and attacks linked to Gavin McGuire.
