Child killer's home on sale for knock-down price as nobody wants to buy it

A house which was the former home of a child killer on a Scottish island is struggling to sell as no one wants to buy it. Aaron Campbell murdered six-year-old Alesha MacPhail in 2018 after snatching her from her home on the Isle of Bute.

He killed her in nearby woods and then returned to his family home in the dark, but was caught on camera when he arrived at the house. Thousands of pounds have been knocked off the price of the property in recent days as it's struggling to sell.

Sources told the Daily Record that local residents don’t want anything to do with the property due to its dark history. It was even later target by Alesha's bereft dad following her murder.
