Body in bags killer seeks bereavement counselling

A CONVICTED paedophile jailed for at least 25 years for murdering his fiancee and dumping her remains in bags in the Capital is on a waiting list for "bereavement counselling" in prison.

Alan Cameron hid Heather Stacey's decomposing body at her flat for more than a year before scattering the parts.

The 56-year-old was jailed for life at the High Court in Edinburgh by Lord Matthews who condemned his "appalling crimes".

Cameron has continued to protest his innocence despite being found guilty of murder after an eight-day trial.

Cameron's defence advocate, John Scott, revealed that his client was on a waiting list for bereavement counselling and was a model prisoner.
