Man jailed for at least 24 years over murder of Elgin woman

  • Owen Grant, a 43-year-old from Elgin, was sentenced to life imprisonment on May 29, 2025, for the brutal murder of 32-year-old Lucretia Donaghy at her home in Elgin on November 15, 2023.
  • The murder stemmed from a financial dispute involving Grant owing Donaghy £300, with £770 counted out at her home on the day of the killing, although he denied taking the money.
  • Grant repeatedly struck Donaghy on the head and body with an unknown weapon, possibly a claw hammer, causing fatal blunt force injuries, and left his bloody handprint at the scene.
  • After the murder, Grant was caught on CCTV handling money and putting a bag in a refuse bin, went on a spending spree using cash found with him, and purchased items at a Scotmid store.
  • Grant must serve at least 24 years before parole eligibility, facing consequences for his violent past, while Donaghy’s family and authorities expressed hope the verdict brings justice and condemned the violent act.
