This popped up on my UA-cam suggestions , possibly as I’d watched another Glasgow Crime clip . Thanks for making this , never heard of McInnes , despite living not that far away in Knightswood… what a rank badjin he must have been , horrible person. Please keep making these 👍
Was that the one on the end of D hall? I worked on D hall in the 90s during the renovation of all the cells but there was one big huge one at the end on multiple levels with trap doors and old fitings.
My sister lived right above the guy he was an ex copper himself who got sacked and he took up armed robbery.The best of it was it was two 9f his ez ex colleagues that just called round tae see how he was doin an he panicked a started blasting the cop shop was just on the other road they came from everywhere an there was a big shootout in the street and close I'll never forget the noise and the screaming the most incredible thing I've been in valved in in my life an I'm now 60.
Stumbled across this and watched it mostly because my mum was born in Clydebank. I was very surprised to see Allison Street in Govanhill get a mention - that's where we lived until I was six years old, just a few doors up, at number 273. We moved away in 1969, which I think was a couple of years after the murders you mentioned. I remember my parents talking about it, I think. Wasn't it a siege or something?
Subscribed and liked I will have to rewatch this I would have listened to another 20 minutes harrowing story of evil incarnate. The connections really gave a sense of being there and thanking my lucky stars I wasn't.
@@Bigtimecharlie1980 I'm afraid there's not much I can say about it. I came across a report that he had been convicted of assaulting another prisoner, but it didn't provide any detail.
I vividly remember the police crime scene viewed from my mothers house in Freelands. Gerald,I’m sure, was a pupil at Clydebank high school and was well known to my young sister Lorraine. As much as we were all shocked at what had taken place. Nobody was surprised when McInness was done for the murder. We all knew of his strange and violent behaviour.
I do remember this murder in the coosie but i was only young at the time. Was 'big Albe' the bloke that roamed dalmuir and the park with the doberman dogs ?
No you are thinking about Big Jerry. He had several mental health issues. He was in and out of Gartnavel Royal. Sectioned in the main. He was violent once attacked his poor Mum with an axe as she was lighting the fire in their living room . The family lived in Low Mountblow where I was born in my grandparents home in Laurel Avenue. I think his family lived in Pine Rd. His dog had an old Clydebank High School for as a lead. We called him Big Jerry "shake hands" We stayed well clear of him. His Mum was a poor wee soul.
@@jeannettescott1762 Yeah, that's exactly who it was, i remember now. I didnt know about the axe attack on his mother but doesnt supprise me. We used to keep well away too. Thank you for taking the time to reply.
Allison Street murders were 68-69 my sister lived above the copper that got nicked 51 Allison street I was in her house the day it awe kicked off and will take it tae my grave I was about 5 or 6 year auld.
We were neighbours, then. I lived in Allison Street until I was six and we moved away in 1969. We're about the same age - I went to Annette Street Primary.
@@zzoro77 I googled it. Looks like it was kind of fashion based, working class gang culture in Britain in the 1960's-70's. Getting their name from steel toed boots, an asset in street fights. They wore straight legged Levis or Stay-Prest trousers, close cropped hair or mod length hair, suspenders/braces and buttoned down shirts. They were closely associated with football hooligans, they liked short, simple, loud rock tunes with shouted courses, similar to the chants in football stadiums.
Like Mods and Rockers...1960'-70's working class, White British, gang culture. Very fashion, football and music based. They had close cropped or "mod" lengthed hair Got their name from the steel toed boots some of them wore? Which were useful for street fighting. Yes, I googled it.

Excellent video, Brian. Please do more of these historical pieces. I made a documentary in Barlinnie Prison in the 1990s about the execution chamber .
Thank you David. I'm working on the next one and am researching one. I've seen a couple of videos about Barlinie. Has your documentary been on UA-cam?

Geez 🙄. Wow sorry you had to hear this 💔❤️
New Sub from Aberdeen Brian. Like you, im sick of our so called leaders, allowing these monsters back on to the streets. Very telling.
Green story, great narration
New sub, love your accent, very interesting story.

The murders took place just after Christmas in 1969. It was more a raid rather than a siege though.

Big Abie was notorious as a beast back in the day as soon as this vile murder was discovered there was only one suspect . 15:09
I know. Fortunately people like him were fairly rare. He was involved in another asssault whilst he was doing life in Peterhead prison.
@@zzoro77please tell us about that story don’t tease us 😂❤

Very fashion, football and music based.
