He started on a career of violence at the age of 16 when he murdered a 7-year-old. Unlike some violent teenagers, he did not eventually improve, and served quite a lot of time in prison for sexually abusing children. He has undoubtedly murdered several other women. Some of the murders were committed together with his brother in law, Gordon Hamilton, who died some years ago.

The above is a short version of a long and scary story.
