A Dunblane survivor is facing life in prison for carrying out a sex attack on an OAP.
Ryan Liddell, 20, was found guilty of assault with intent to rape following a trial in June.
Liddell had been shot in the chest and arm, by Thomas Hamilton, during the "Dunblane massacre", of 1996, in which 16 young children and their teacher died.
The 76 year old victim was kicked in the head and lost two teeth in the attack.
A terrible, frightening ordeal.
****
This story made me think about the Dunblane massacre, again.
Didn't Thomas Hamilton run a boys club in the town ?
Hamilton was a suspected paedophile, though this was not brought up at the inquest(s) into the massacre.
Could Lyddell have attended the boys club ?
How many other Dunblane boys attended ?
Do the abused become the abuser ?
And Thomas Hamilton had powerful friends.
Were they aware of Hamiltons predilections for violence ?
So many questions...
I truly hope this will be the last chaper of horror for Dunblane.
Yet, somehow, I doubt it.
