An employee-from-hell regularly pulled a loaded shotgun on his boss and tortured him with a dog chain during two decades of systematic violent abuse. Ronald McLennan has been locked up after a jury found him guilty of putting his employer's life in danger during the 20-year bullying campaign.
Full details of the incredible working relationship between McLennan and his boss, Ian Robertson, were revealed during a trial at the High Court in Dundee. The jury heard about incidents of water-boarding, death threats, car crashes, watery open graves and torture scenes reminiscent of Reservoir Dogs.
Evidence was also aired about plots to blackmail Mr Robertson into handing over nearly £40,000 by threatening to report his business practices to the authorities. McLennan, 52, Charleston Village, Forfar, had faced a total of 19 charges on indictment, relating to incidents between April 2000 and April 2019.
