AFTER a 36 year wait for justice, it took mere hours for a jury to deliver a verdict of guilty that will see Graham McGill face life in prison. It will give some closure to Mary McLaughlin s surviving children, who have searched nearly four decades to find out what happened to their mother. The evening of September 26, 1984, began as many others had for 58-year-old Mary - she went out to a local pub to drink, socialise and play dominoes. But by an awful twist of fate, the mum-of-11 would that night cross paths with the then-22-year-old McGill, out on five days release from HMP Edinburgh where he was being held for sex crimes.
