Edinburgh prisoner who killed a lawyer with his brother in the 90s denied parole

An Edinburgh prisoner who murdered a lawyer and set his body on fire almost 30 years ago has been denied parole over concerns he remains a danger to the public.

Dean Ryan, 45, and brother Steven bound Marshall Stormonth’s wrists and ankles at his Glasgow home in 1993 before setting the property ablaze with the procurator fiscal still inside.
