Killer loses court battle

AN ATTEMPT by “limbs-in-the-loch” killer William Beggs to win an interim court order against attempts by prison authorities to tackle a mountain of legal 
papers in his cell has failed.

Beggs, 48, is serving a life 
sentence for the murder of 18-year-old Barry Wallace in 1999. His severed limbs were 
recovered from Loch Lomond and his head was found on 
Barassie Beach, near Troon.

Earlier this year, prison 
authorities at Glenochil jail, in Clackmannanshire, vowed to take action over accumulated legal paperwork in Beggs’s cell.
