Schizophrenic jailed over murder

Mar 16 2010

A violent psychopath who killed a young father four months after walking free from court over another brutal attack has been jailed for life.

Colin Welsh, 42, was told he must serve at least 12 years in prison as a judge described him as "clearly dangerous".

Welsh, a paranoid schizophrenic, was fined in March 2008 for beating a fellow student at St Andrews University so badly that he needed facial reconstruction surgery.
