A mother-of-two was raped and filmed before she died by two men involved in a similar attack on another woman who took her own life.
Lizzie Gillespie, 30, is said to have been filmed as she was drugged, raped and left ‘foaming at the mouth’ before she died in Thurso, in the Scottish Highlands, in 2017.
One of the men said to be involved in the attack of the mother-of-two is also claimed to have taken part in the rape of Jenna Johnson, which led to her death, according to the Daily Record.
Ms Johnson, 27, took her own life on New Year’s Day in the same town after she was drugged, raped and threatened, relatives have claimed.
It is believed the mother-of-two died after fearing a video of the attack would be circulated – after she woke on December 23 to find herself covered in bruises, scratches and needle marks.
One man, who wished to remain anonymous, claims to have been friends with both women and was ‘sickened’ by the attacks.
He claims to have seen footage of Ms Gillespie and told the Daily Record the video showed men stripping her, ‘putting pills in her mouth and laughing at her’.
He told the publication: ‘It’s also known they robbed her. Lizzie was prone to fits and I’ve been told they left her foaming at the mouth and went to the pub where they spent the money they took from her.
Jenna Johnson, 27, took her own life on New Year’s Day in the same town after she was drugged, raped and threatened, relatives have claimed
‘They didn’t call for help and in the morning she was found dead.’
It is claimed one of the men involved in the attack of Ms Johnson and Ms Gillespie is believed to have killed Stefan Sutherland, 25, who was found dead on a beach after a night out in 2013.
The other accomplice is believed to have since died.
Ms Johnson was found dead at her home after failing to arrive at her mother’s house for lunch with her family this year.
One of the men Ms Johnson accused is also suspected locally to have killed Stefan Sutherland (right, with his father Sandy), 25, who was found dead on a beach after a night out in 2013
She claimed she had been seriously sexually assaulted by one man and raped by another, with the two having told her they would publish the video and this would lead to her losing her children.
Ms Johnson took her own life on January 1 and Police Scotland have insisted there were no suspicious circumstances. The apparent video footage was never released.
Her body was forensically examined in Glasgow after she died, but tests were inconclusive over any sexual assault or rape because so much time had elapsed.
A spokesman for Police Scotland said there are no suspicious circumstances around the deaths of Ms Gillespie and Ms Johnson.
