A damning investigation by police watchdogs has found cops failed to act on a warning that could have saved the life of murdered East Kilbride woman, Louise Aitchison.
Officers admitted failing to tell the 33-year-old dental nurse about her partner Daryll Paterson’s history of violence against women for five weeks before he brutally murdered her in her West Mains home on April 28, 2020.
Paterson admitted killing Louise by strangling her and then slashing her throat. The 37-year-old was convicted of her murder and sentenced to 18 years in prison last January.
