The former-inmate in question was Thomas McCulloch, released in 2010 after spending 40+ years in jail for being a mass murdering, axe-wielding psychopath who would cut off people's ears and would attack any fellow prisoners given an opportunity, to the point he needed two decades of solitary confinement. Seems that during the Peterhead prison riot that the SAS had to break up, even the prisoners still kept this guy locked in his wing. Older posters may remember the case (McCulloch & Mone), but it certainly bypassed me: https://www.scotsman.com/news/triple-axe-murderer-thomas-mcculloch-released-1-2921895 Anyway, sleep tight Dundee...

supermik Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I remember when they broke out from Carstairs. There was all the announcements on the radio and television telling people that they were very dangerous and not to approach them if you saw them. Although I was living in a 2nd floor flat, miles away from them, in the middle of Edinburgh, I put the little chain on the door just in case.

Dindeleux Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Worth noting that the guy Thomas McCulloch started getting home leave in 2009. The same year that Granny Danger (danger??) joined this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 If McCulloch was diagnosed as a psychopath, why was he released? I thought it wasn't possible for psychopaths to changed or be "cured" in any way. Their brain chemistry is just the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure society did owe McCullough (or Worboys) a chance to rehabilitate however there has to be equality under whatever system we have.

nsr Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 My understanding is that psychopaths can't rehabilitate. I suppose the best you could hope for is that if released they would just live quietly under the radar, without having changed but obeying the law out of a sense of self-preservation.

Hedgecutter Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 It's no wonder that the other guy Robert Mone is still imprisoned though (I think?). One look at the guy tells you everything you need to know: Quote On 1 November 1967, Mone, whose motive was apparently revenge for being expelled from the school three years prior, entered a girls' needlework class at St John's School armed with a shotgun. He subjected the 14- and 15-year-old pupils and their pregnant teacher, Nanette Hanson, to a 1 1⁄2-hour ordeal, before shooting Hanson dead, raping one girl, and sexually assaulting another. In 1976, Mone broke out of Carstairs Hospital with fellow inmate, Thomas McCulloch, murdering another inmate and a male nurse in the process and also killing a police officer. Still, everyone deserves a day off prison for a bit of window shopping around the high street: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/tayside_and_central/6295240.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a psycopath doesn't necessarily mean he will be a danger to other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sun and political worries for the Home Secretary. Otherwise the first parole board weren't given the full information. Either way it's fucking awful, hopefully it's the latter and can be rectified. If it's the first then we can forget about an independent judicial system.
