Axe murderer Thomas McCulloch released from Castle Huntly

The 65-year-old diagnosed psychopath killed three people when he escaped from the State Hospital at Carstairs in 1976, with fellow patient Robert Mone.

When they were eventually caught the pair got life sentences and were told they would die in custody.

However, they later secured fixed term punishments using European human rights laws.

In 2002, he used European legislation to have his minimum term fixed at 30 years from his original sentence, meaning he could apply for parole after this period.

McCulloch, from Dunbartonshire, was originally sent indefinitely to Carstairs in Lanarkshire in 1970 after attempting to murder two hotel staff in an argument over not getting enough butter on his bread roll.

He shot the chef at the hotel in Erskine, Renfrewshire, in the face and shot the manageress in the shoulder.

i cant imagine what that woman think s she s doing getting shacked up with that monster.

if ever there was a call for the death penalty ,it s him.

that bastard should have been hung....... even publicly where like in the middle ages he should have been stoned spat on hung his remains burnt .

worse than the most vile animal. im disgusted.

People like that don't deserve to live.

he had a homosexual affair in the madhouse , now he s shacking up with a woman he met while on day release. she know s all about his past. Im thinking myself she likes dangerous guy s...
personally i would nt spit on that bastard if i met him in the desert with his tongue hanging out three feet gasping for water.

he s already been tried and convicted of three murder s . yep bring back hanging for sure.

Something wrong with a woman like that Johno.

yes  she must be a very sadistic person. hope he do snt do the same to her.
a leopard cant change his spots.   but it s  her choice. she s made her bed , let her lie in it.
likely with one eye open all the time she s in it.

They deserve each other then.

They do deserve each other in Hell
