Trio Guilty of Killing Man Who Jumped From Dundee Flat Window in Bid to Escape Their Clutches
Stephen Stewart, Jennifer Souter, and Victoria McGowan were convicted of causing Ryan Munro's death by extortion and intimidation, leading him to jump from a Dundee flat window.
- At the High Court, judges heard that prosecutors said Stephen Stewart, 52; Jennifer Souter, 40; and Victoria McGowan, 43 were found guilty on Friday of causing Ryan Munro's death last year by placing him in `extreme state of fear` leading to his fall.
- At the Morgan Street flat, the accused abducted Mr Munro on January 9 and 10, detaining him against his will and creating an atmosphere of menace and threats, prosecutors said.
- The court heard Crown witness testimony that a phone linked to Stewart contained messages referencing the fall, including `F**en awful luck aye hun` and that Ramsay El‑Nakla spent �800 a day on crack, with prosecutors saying this corroborates other evidence.
- Sentencing is set for February at the High Court in Glasgow, and prosecutors will pursue proceeds of crime actions against Stewart and McGowan in the near future while Judge Lady Drummond warned they can expect a significant custodial sentence.
- The court heard a victim impact statement from the family, and Ramsay El‑Nakla, 37, was acquitted last week after prosecutors accepted his not guilty pleas, while the convicted trio's criminal records were noted.
