Lanarkshire family has loved one exhumed from grave next to notorious Glasgow killer

A Lanarkshire family has paid thousands of pounds to exhume from their grave after learning they had been buried next to one of Scotland's most notorious child killers.

Sam Glass was locked up for longer than anyone else in Scotland for his horrific crimes after indecently assaulting, stabbing and strangling a five-year-old girl in Glasgow in the 60s.

He died in at the age of 71 in November 2018 in a secure hospital. His unmarked grave went unnoticed at a Lanarkshire cemetery near the State Hospital, Carstairs, for more than a year.
