A murderer locked up for hacking a homeless man to death has died from suspected coronavirus. George Greenshields, 68, was previously jailed for 30 years for killing James Griffin.

He was released in 2005, but was jailed again only six months later when he slashed a man's throat with a breadknife. Greenshields was a prisoner at HMP Perth when he died from suspected Covid-19, reports Daily Record.

Greenshields was convicted of murder at Glasgow High Court in July 1988 after hacking Mr Griffin to death then burning his body.

His breadknife attack on Neil Balfour 17 years later was so brutal that judge Lord Emslie had considered imposing a second life sentence.
