STALKED BY EVIL LIMBS IN THE LOCH BUTCHER

Beggs victim tells how killer turned up wherever he went, Claims go in letter to Parole Board opposing beast's release

A VICTIM of William Beggs claims the Limbs in the Loch killer continued to stalk him after his release from prison.

Beggs was jailed for six years for a serious assault on Brian McQuillan at Beggs’ home in Kilmarnock in 1991 but released after three.

At the time there was no witness notification scheme and Brian, now 62, was not told he had been released.

He saw Beggs in his car. Brian claims Beggs then turned up at various pubs he visited with pals in Glasgow and Edinburgh.

At one point police called at his home saying Beggs had made a complaint against him and had even supplied his address.

Beggs was jailed at the High Court in Kilmarnock after he drugged Brian and tried to cut him open with a razor. Ten years later, Beggs got life for the murder of teenage supermarket worker Barry Wallace, whose dismembered body parts he disposed of in Loch Lomond and the sea.

In yesterday's Daily Record, Brian called for a new police investigation to prevent Beggs ever being freed from prison.

Brian says he was forced to move to London in 1996 because of the alleged stalking incidents.

He said: “In those days, police were not obliged to inform a victim when their assailant is being released from prison.

“I found out one day by sheer chance while driving from Glasgow to Ayrshire. I happened to notice Beggs' car in front of mine, driving from Kilmarnock in the direction of Ayr.
