A double killer has died in Carstairs State Hospital – 10 years after he was detained for stabbing another murderer to death.
Andrew Fisher, who murdered his wife in 1990, died on Friday following a battle with dementia. The 58-year-old stabbed fellow prisoner Craig MacKenzie at a flat in Edinburgh in 2013 after they were both released from prison.
Schizophrenic Fisher called 999 and admitted he had stabbed McKenzie, 40, in a frenzied attack. He had inflicted 32 stab wounds to the head, neck and body of his victim. Fisher, who had served 11 years of a life sentence after killing his wife in Dunfermline, had been freed from prison in 2001.
