A man under court-ordered restrictions—including an electronic tag—admitted to murdering his partner, Samantha Lee, in his Aberdeen flat, just days after she’d told a friend she feared for her life. The brutal attack, involving multiple blunt force injuries to the head, followed a prior public assault he’d been released from custody for, despite strict bail conditions. Greer, who’d previously mentioned owning a claw hammer, now faces a life sentence after pleading guilty to both murder and aggravated assault, with the judge calling his actions cowardly and despicable. Samantha, remembered as a joyful and loving woman, was last seen on New Year’s Day and spoke to her daughter before vanishing.

Leon Marwick, SNP candidate, has won the George Street and Harbour ward by-election in Aberdeen, securing the seat with a swift count and a modest turnout of just 13%. His victory follows the departure of former councillor Desmond Bouse, who moved to Edinburgh and ran in the Scottish Parliament. Marwick praised his team’s tireless efforts and dismissed claims that the SNP’s win reflects a national collapse in Labour support. He sees this as a strong signal for the party ahead of the next council elections, and will now focus on serving his ward as one of three SNP councillors on the council.

Starting November 1, leaving kids under 12 alone with banned dogs in Scotland could land you six months in jail or a £5,000 fine—yes, even at home. This tough new rule updates the Dangerous Dogs Act, targeting XL bully breeds and aiming to protect children before incidents happen. While most owners are safe, authorities are cracking down on irresponsible ones, working with police and animal groups. Since 2024, over 3,400 XL bully owners have gotten exemptions—but only if they follow strict rules like leashing, muzzling, microchipping, and neutering. It’s a clear warning: kids’ safety comes first, and the law won’t wait.

David Goodwillie faces a rare private prosecution in Scotland after a 2017 civil ruling found him and a teammate guilty of rape — despite no prior criminal charges. The victim, Denise Clair, is now pursuing legal action independently, while Goodwillie’s lawyer insists he doesn’t want to be prosecuted, even though Goodwillie previously said he’d fight to clear his name. A key November hearing will decide whether the case moves forward, with the court also ordering disclosure of evidence. If approved, this could lead to a full criminal trial — a dramatic legal twist in a case that’s already drawn national attention.

With record-breaking heatwaves driving rats indoors in droves, experts warn this could be the worst summer ever for rodent invasions.
