The great-granddaughter of a Bible John victim has spoken of her hope that the murder can still be solved.
Mum-of-three Jemima MacDonald was found battered and strangled near her home in Bridgeton, Glasgow, in August 1969. The 31-year-old was the second of three women in the late 60s who died violently after spending the evening at the Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow.
Care worker Sammy Mottley, 29, was first told about her great-gran’s murder when she turned 16 and since then has done everything possible to learn more about her death.
She wants Police Scotland to reopen their investigation and finally bring Jemima’s killer to justice. As a child, Sammy was unaware of Jemima’s tragic past but was given the full story when she became an adult.
She said: “My family told me about how my great-gran never came home and was murdered. I became really intrigued and started reading everything I could find about her murder and doing my own research.
“I would loved to have got to know my great-gran and what she was like. I am sure Jemima would have had so many stories to tell.
“She was taken away from her family far too young – she was in the prime of her life.
“She also missed out on her grandchildren and great-grandchildren because of the man who killed her.”
Sammy believes Jemima many have been attacked that night because of her previous relationship with a West Indian man, Bunny Mottley, and that the murder could be racially motivated. The couple had two children together – Andrew Mottley, now 60, and Sammy’s grandfather, Allan, 61.
At the time of her murder, Jemima and Bunny had been separated for several years. She also had a daughter Elizabeth – who died in 2019 from cancer at the age of 62 – from an earlier relationship.
