One of Scotland's most dangerous prisoners is likely never to be freed after he admitted murdering a fellow inmate. James O'Rourke - already a convicted killer - choked to death Dean Ramsey, 30, in what a judge described as a "brutal execution".
The 52 year-old was then clocked shaking hands with other prisoners at HMP Glenochil in Clacks after the attack on January 9 2021. He boasted: "Just because I am old, he thinks I am dafty. Well, it cost him his life."
O'Rourke was today sentenced to a minimum 23 years after he pled guilty to a murder charge at the High Court in Glasgow. He has been behinds bars at various prisons since 1992.
