In the early hours of January 1, 1999, 44-year-old Linda Anderson was subjected to a brutal assault in an Edinburgh tenement block which led to her subsequent death the following day.
Two trials followed, with the same perpetrator being found guilty of murder twice, despite his first conviction being quashed.
