Stuart Reid, whose father Robert was haunted by the deaths of his sisters, Marion Watt and Margaret Brown, and teenaged niece, Vivienne, said: "All we want is for someone to stop this horrible decision." Reid told The Daily Record on Saturday, June 5, 2021: "I was 12 at the time, I will be 77 at the end of this month - it's terrible that this is still going on. "Me and my brother David are the last of my dad's family. "We don't want to see it again." In Plain Sight tells the true story of Lanarkshire detective William Muncie (Douglas Henshall) and his mission to bring notorious serial killer Peter Manuel (played by Martin Compston) to justice. Peter was an American-born Scottish serial killer who was convicted of killing eight people in South Lanarkshire between 1955 and his arrest in 1958. He was born in 1927 in New York to Scottish parents who moved back to their motherland, settling in Birkenshaw in North Lanarkshire. Bullied at school, he was a petty thief by the age of 10 and by the age of sixteen had committed a string of sexual assaults, was arrested, found guilty and served nine years in prison. Manuel started his killing spree in 1956, a year after he was released from prison. He met Anne Kneilands, 17, in East Kilbride on New Years Day and took her to a tearoom. Later he dragged her to a deserted golf course and bludgeoned her to death with an iron bar. He was questioned but released without charge after his father gave him an alibi. He confessed to the murder two years later and charged but it was dropped due to insufficient evidence. 4 Manuel's murder spree terrorised Lanarkshire for two years Credit: ITV  In September 1956, the bodies of invalid Marion Watt, 45, her daughter Vivienne, 17, and Marions sister Margaret Brown, 41 were found by police in their home and Marions husband William was arrested and held in prison.
