Members of a north-east mosque that was daubed with racist graffiti and swastikas today reached out the hand of forgiveness to the man who did it.
Mark Macpherson has now been jailed for 14 months for the racially aggravated vandal attack on the building in Elgin’s South Street on May 20, 2019.
The 44-year-old drug addict’s life was said to be in “freefall” at the time of the offence and when police asked why he’d done it he replied: “I don’t know. To be honest, I don’t know.”
