Candy Crush killer who battered OAP with rolling pin released early after terminal cancer diagnosis

A killer who played Candy Crush after battering her elderly neighbour with a rolling pin has been released from prison early after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.

The Sunday Mail can reveal that Sandra Weir, jailed for the vicious murder of 82-year-old Mary Logie, was granted early release by Justice Minister Keith Brown.

The drug addict, whose crime was described by a judge as “breathtakingly wicked”, had been ordered to serve a minimum of 21 years behind bars – at the time one of the longest life sentences for a woman in Scottish legal history.
