The Murder of Karen Buckley

Some of the killers we’ve talked about had terrible childhoods filled with abuse and unimaginable grief. Some have convinced themselves that their potential gains, maybe money or protecting a secret, justify their crime. And while none of this justifies murder, it can helps us try to better make sense of a horrible tragedy. But there is no such motive or sympathetic backstory for the man who brutally killed Karen Buckley, a 24 year old Irish nurse and master’s student, who was enjoying a night out with friends in Glasgow in April 2015. As the judge said in his sentencing, Alexander Pacteau, was a “callous and calculating” murderer who took the life of a young woman who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
