BBC Scotland News then established that James Addison Runcie had lived at that Seatown address in Cullen at the time - the "es" was the end of James - and started to investigate more.
Yitzchak Zitter, there with his boyfriend, is currently serving as a reserve soldier in the Israeli army, but thinks the war is no longer worth it."I don't think we're getting closer to any of the stated goals of the war," he said. "A year ago, stating these opinions openly was very unpopular, especially in the military. But today, people are tired of this war, we hate it, we're done. And if you bring in the hostages, it becomes a much more acceptable opinion."
Returning the hostages held by Hamas is by far the biggest reason Israelis give for wanting to end the war. At the main weekly anti-war demonstrations here, Gazans barely figure at all."Empathy for the people who celebrated the massacres of October 7 is very low," Yitzchak says. "They voted for Hamas [in 2006] and haven't really done much to get rid of them since. If we saw mass protests in Gaza, we would have a different conversation."Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has continued to insist that his military campaign in Gaza is critical to releasing the remaining hostages. So far, eight living captives have been freed in rescue operations by Israeli forces, while more than 140 have been released through agreements with Hamas.
Netanyahu says the military pressure has helped push Hamas into those agreements. But many of those demonstrating outside his office in Jerusalem, or in Tel Aviv's Hostages Square, disagree."We can't bring them back like that," said one protestor, a developmental psychologist called Mayan Eliahu Ifhar. "It's a terrible mistake. The war is killing them."
That feeling has been echoed by many hostage families, worried that their relatives will die in captivity as the war grinds on, or be killed in Israeli airstrikes.
There is also growing disillusionment over whether Mr Netanyahu's other war goal is achievable: the total destruction of Hamas as a military and governing force.Mike Andrews, who leads National Trading Standards' e-crimes unit and was involved in the investigation into Hunter and the Ticket Queen, told the BBC how he joined the early morning raid on the anonymous townhouse in a tree-lined north London street where Hunter ran his operation.
Upstairs was a room filled with PCs, whirring away, buying and selling tickets. "It was obviously an operation that ran pretty much 24/7," Mr Andrews said. They also found rolls of tickets in seat-number order for events such as Lady Gaga concerts and the Harry Potter play, and multiple credit cards.Reselling tickets for profit for live performances in the UK is not illegal. But Hunter and Chenery-Woods were convicted of using fraudulent practices to get around restrictions - such as limits on the number of tickets an individual can buy.
They pretended to be lots of different people, using lots of different credit cards, when they bought the tickets from companies such as Ticketmaster, See Tickets or AXS - which are known as primary ticketing websites.The Ticket Queen used the details of family members, including a dead relative, to buy tickets, as well as using the names and addresses of dozens of people in and around the town of Diss, Norfolk where her business operated.
