More info Moira Ross, the mother of Michael Ross who was convicted for the 1994 heinous murder of a Bangladeshi waiter in Orkney, couldn't hold back her tears during a revealing new documentary titled The Orkney Assassin. In the heartbreaking moments aired on The Orkney Assassin, a distraught Moira recounted the devastating time she queried her teenage son Michael about being the murderer, reports the Scottish Daily Express. She shared with the creators of the programme: "I remember him coming home with the detective. He was just his normal self." Telling more about that fateful day, she remembered: "All he wanted to do was come down and have a biscuit and something to eat because he'd been starving when he was being questioned at the police station. So he was hungry." Continuing her painful recollection, Moira said: "Then he went up to his room and sat there and I did go up and ask him, I said, 'Did you shoot that man?' And he said , 'No.'" (Image: PRIME VIDEO) This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.

The emotional interview saw Moira breaking down into tears as Eddy Ross, her husband and ex-police officer, sat by her side, visibly upset himself. Ross was only 15 years old when waiter Shamsuddin Mahmood, 26, was fatally shot inside the Mumtaz Restaurant in Kirkwall; the gunman wore a mask and committed the crime in the presence of diners, including children. Mahmood had spent time working on the island the previous year; his death spread fear amongst the Bangladeshi community about relocating to smaller towns due to concerns of facing similar fates. (Image: PRIME VIDEO) Following the murder, the young Ross was detained for questioning before later being released. The case baffled authorities for years, with former soldier Ross eventually convicted of the murder and given a 25-year sentence in 2008. In an unexpected turn of events, ex-Army sniper Ross tried to escape the courtroom after the guilty verdict was announced, nearly succeeding before he was caught. Police later discovered a stash of weapons in a car park nearby, in a vehicle rented by Ross. Launching on Prime Video today (June 8), The Orkney Assassin provides new perspectives on the shocking 31 year old cold-blooded murder. (Image: PRIME VIDEO) From Ross' parents, who firmly maintain his innocence, to eye witnesses, journalists, police detectives and legal representatives involved in the case at the time, The Orkney Assassin examines all aspects of the case. The Orkney Assassin questions whether Mahmood's tragic death was a racist attack or even a professional hit as the evidence is reevaluated. Despite his conviction, Ross has consistently claimed his innocence, with the campaign group J4MR - Justice 4 Michael Ross attempting to overturn the verdict and alleging it's a massive miscarriage of justice. Ross is currently serving his sentence at HMP Shotts in Lanarkshire and has made three attempts to escape prison since his incarceration began. The Orkney Assassin airs on Prime Video on June 8

Clarkson's Farm series four finale to show team facing issues before pub opens
Clarkson's Farm series four finale to show team facing issues before pub opens The reality TV series, which follows former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson and his crew as they navigate new challenges (Image: PRIME VIDEO ) The series four finale of Clarkson's Farm is to show the team facing last-minute problems as the Farmer's Dog pub opens for business. The reality TV series, which follows former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson and his crew as they navigate new challenges and projects at Diddly Squat Farm, returned for its latest series last month. The last two episodes of series four, which will be uploaded to Prime Video on June 6, will show Clarkson's preparations for the pub's opening as he receives help from his co-star Kaleb Cooper. In episode seven, titled Hurrying, Clarkson, 65, realises that the August bank holiday weekend, which is when he is due to open the pub, is a week earlier than he thought. In the next episode, titled Landlording, last-minute problems are spotted and sorted as Clarkson and Cooper hang up the pub's sign, signalling that the establishment is open for business. Photos from the series show Clarkson hanging foliage in the pub with another image showing a long queue of customers outside the venue. Article continues below The pub, formerly known as The Windmill, is located in Asthall, near Burford in Oxfordshire, and was reopened by Clarkson on August 23 2024. Clarkson sells his own Hawkstone lager in the venue and wanted to have all of the produce sold there grown or reared by British farmers. In a post to the pub's website, he said that ingredients like quinine in tonic water cannot be grown in Britain but emphasised that they are "doing all we possibly can to support British farming". Article continues below The new series has seen Clarkson dealing with a range of livestock – from a big new bull and a very little pig, to high-tech goats. The programme, which first aired in 2021, brings to light problems which British farmers face and the costs of running a farm. Clarkson has become a vocal supporter of farmers and attended a protest in London against the Government's move to introduce inheritance tax on farmland in November 2024.

New Zealand boosts movie production incentives after Trump's 100% tariff plan
New Zealand, where the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy was shot, has become a popular filming location for Hollywood movies due to lower costs and government incentives. PHOTO: PRIME VIDEO SYDNEY - New Zealand will allocate more budget funds to give rebates to foreign studios for filming movies in the country - a move which follows US President Donald Trump's announcement of 100 per cent tariffs on films made outside the United States. New Zealand, where the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy was shot, has become a popular filming location for Hollywood movies due to lower costs and government incentives. 'We are sending a clear message to the world: New Zealand is the best place in the world to make movies. Bring your productions here to take advantage of our talent and locations,' Finance Minister Nicola Willis said in a statement. When announcing the 100 per cent tariffs this month, Mr Trump said Hollywood was dying a 'very fast death' due to incentives offered by other countries. An additional NZ$577 million (S$440 million) will be injected into next week's federal budget to sustain New Zealand's International Screen Production Rebate scheme. That comes despite the government's proposed cuts to baseline spending as tax revenue shrinks. Under the rebate programme first introduced in 2014, eligible productions can access a cash rebate of 20 per cent for production costs of more than NZ$15 million for feature films, and NZ$4 million for television shows. 'While industry incentives are not generally our favoured approach, the reality is we simply won't get the offshore investment in our highly successful screen sector without continuing this scheme,' Ms Willis said. New Zealand's film sector employs about 24,000 people and generates NZ$3.5 billion annually, with around a third of revenue coming from the United States, its foreign ministry said in a March 2025 report. Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom provide more generous incentives than New Zealand, Ms Willis also said. REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.
