A masked rapist who abducted a 15-year-old girl from an Edinburgh city centre bus stop has been jailed under a lifelong restriction order.

Aaron Strachan, 21, pulled a knife on the girl on the city's Princes Street in May last year, before marching her to a basement storage area and raping her.

The High Court in Edinburgh heard that he also attacked a man with a hammer days later, and had a criminal record of violence, robbery and possession of weapons.

Strachan was jailed for a minimum of five years with an order for lifelong restriction (OLR). It means a parole board must decide if he is ever safe to be released.

Remember the mass shooter Dylan Klebold who was involved in the Columbine Shooting? His Mother's real name was: Susan Frances Yassenoff. She profited extensively writing books and making speeches after the killing spree...

A mother and a boyfriend she had known for only a matter of months have been found guilty of murdering her two-year-old daughter.

Little Isabelle Welsh suffered a ‘campaign of violence’ at the hands of Alexandra Walker, 26, and warped paedophile Harrison Simpson, 22, who was also found guilty of sexually assaulting the young girl.

In the weeks before her death in September last year, Isabelle suffered 21 broken bones before a final ‘massive head injury’ was inflicted upon her, consistent with being ‘violently shaken’ and her head ‘impacting a hard and unyielding surface such as a wall or hard floor’.
