Angus Sinclair It was 1982 and an evil sex predator had been stalking the streets of Glasgow for the last four years. He would lure girls as young as six into tenement closes then rape and sexually assault them. The mystery attacker would always grab his victims from behind so they would never see his face. Sometimes the fiend would strike twice on the same day. Since his reign of terror began in 1978 he d claimed at least ten victims but more were to follow. That year every cop in the city was on the lookout for the monster who showed no mercy or pity for his victims.
It was a busy February evening in Cardonald in the south west of Glasgow. Thousands of fans were heading to nearby Ibrox Stadium to watch Rangers play Spanish side Villarreal in the Champions League. The local Morrisons supermarket was filled with shoppers and parents were picking up their children from a martial arts class at a local church. Shortly after 7pm accountant Andrew Ramsay, 51, and his partner Beverley Sinclair, 55, left the Quo Vadis bar in Paisley Road West to walk the short distance to the terraced villa they shared together in Berryknowes Road. As they reached the front door an unmarked black car pulled up outside the house, which Beverly owned.
