One of Scotland's most notorious prisoners, known as ‘the Beast of Ibrox’, has died in prison.
Violent rapist Dominic Devine died in custody on Tuesday, aged 67.
The deplorable sexual predator stalked the Ibrox area of Glasgow in the 1970s and 80s, attacking and raping women at random in what became almost a decade-long reign of terror.
Devine attacked five women between 1979 and 1987. Two of his victims were even pregnant at the time of his sickening acts.
Devine would threaten his victims with a hammer before raping them. The horrific and violent attacks caused many women to avoid leaving their homes at night, terrified they would become the next victim of the Ibrox Beast, who continued to evade police.
His last victim was a young woman in her early 20s, whom Devine pounced on on Shieldhall Road in Ibrox late at night. She had been getting off a city bus and was walking home when she was grabbed off the street and threatened with a knife.
Devine dragged the young woman 100 yards onto a disused railway line where he repeatedly attacked and raped her for almost four hours, the M8 motorway blocking out her screams for help. However, the brave victim managed to drag herself up the embankment and flagged down a police car and was taken to hospital.
It was her description of the attacker, who had also tried to strangle her, that eventually led to Devine being caught for the sickening crimes. A photofit of Devine allowed police to gather enough information from the public to arrest him.
Crucially, detectives showed the likeness of 'the Beast' to victims both with and without his beard. Some had not recognised the fiend as he had changed his facial hair after he had attacked them.
