Murderer who jumped bail faces life term
A MAN who jumped bail and fled to Thailand after knifing his lover to death at her home in Edinburgh is facing a life sentence after admitting murder.
Scott Storey's four years on the run ended when he left a boarding house in a "backwater resort" in the holiday paradise without paying his bill.
He was arrested and brought back to Edinburgh. And yesterday he appeared in a courtroom packed with grieving relatives of victim Bridget Cameron.
Advocate depute Alastair Carmichael, prosecuting, told how mother-of-four Ms Cameron, 35, bled to death from a gaping wound to her neck after a cocaine-fuelled row at the house she shared with Storey in Pirniefield Bank, on the night of April 24 2004.
Judge Lord Kincalven was told that Storey, 43, appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court two days later accused of murder and was remanded in custody pending further inquiries.
A month later Storey successfully appealed against the sheriff's ruling and a High Court judge ordered his release. He subsequently failed to appear for trial in March 2005.
