'Crime that shocked Scotland'.
Five young children were thrown from a top-floor tenement window onto the hard stony ground below with only one intention in mind – to kill them all.For police officers at the scene, used to seeing the worse of human nature, it was too much for many of them to stomach. Particularly when they learned that the person responsible was a woman.Reports came in of a child having fallen from a third-storey window in Toryglen Street, Oatlands, on the South Side of the city.
One of the bodies, four-year-old Marjorie Hughes, had died on impact and had been covered with a blanket.They were all taken to nearby Victoria Infirmary and then transferred to the Royal Hospital For Sick Children.He had just returned from work when he heard two sickening thuds outside his home in Toryglen Street.“Having rushed out into the street I saw another child plunging toward the pavement from the third-storey window.
When the terrified children began to realise the reality and gravity of their situation, they tried to escape. She was said to have suffered from delusions and paranoia, sometimes believing herself to be the Empress of Japan.
