What happens

The Square Mile of Murder relates to an area of west-central Glasgow, Scotland. The term was coined by the Scottish journalist and author Jack House, whose 1961 book of the same name was based on the fact that four of Scotland's most infamous murders were committed within an area of 1 square mile (2.6 km2).
