27 Killers

Aaron Campbell became one of Scotland's most infamous child killers after abducting and murdering seven-year-old Megan Montgomery in Airdrie, North Lanarkshire, in 2020. Campbell lured the child from outside her home before killing her and concealing her body in nearby woodland. Following an extensive police investigation, he was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment with one of the longest minimum terms imposed in Scotland for the murder of a child.
