Predatory scumbag faces jail
A WOMAN who preyed on the elderly was facing a lengthy jail sentence yesterday after killing a 97-year-old pensioner in an attack at his home.
Tandy Swinton, 44, was acquitted of the murder of William Lambie but was convicted of the lesser offence of culpable homicide following the assault on the victim she had previously targeted.
Swinton had demanded money from William - who weighed five stones when he died - and pushed him to the floor in the fatal attack at his flat in Dryburgh Gardens, Dundee, on April 15 last year.
William had surgery at the city's Ninewells Hospital and was transferred to another hospital for rehabilitation but later went to a nursing home for end of life care before he died on May 26 last year.
Swinton stood trial at the High Court in Edinburgh accused of murdering the pensioner but a jury found her guilty of killing him.
