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.

Private investigator Glenn Mulcaire has revealed the names of the News of the World staff who instructed him to carry out phone hacking, his solicitor has confirmed.
The information was passed in a letter to Steve Coogan's lawyers in accordance with a court order.
Mulcaire had applied for permission to appeal against the order, which was made in February, but this was denied and he was compelled to pass over the details by Friday.
His solicitor, Sarah Webb, from Payne Hicks Beach, said she could not reveal who the NoW employees were because of "confidentiality issues".
Schillings, which is representing Coogan, has agreed not to reveal the names yet, to give Payne Hicks Beach a chance to apply for a court order stopping their release.
Mulcaire was ordered to reveal who instructed him to access Coogan's voicemails, as well as those of celebrities including Max Clifford and Elle Macpherson.
He was jailed for six months in 2007 for intercepting messages left on royal aides' phones.
A spokeswoman for News International said the firm had no comment.
