A young Scots dad has hit out after being handed keys to a council flat that was plagued by a ‘dead body smell’, blue bottle flies and had police tape over the windows. Craig Buchanan was supposed to move into the Kilmarnock property last month but believes it’s unsafe for his partner, Morgan Davidson, 20, and their one-year-old son Harris.
The 22-year-old found a used needle on top of a kitchen cabinet and told how the windows and back door have been extensively damaged after previously being ‘kicked in’. After speaking to neighbours, the couple discovered the previous tenant had overdosed and died in the kitchen causing the alleged fly infestation.
Dad-of-one Craig said: “When we got the property, we weren’t really told anything about it. There were loads of things wrong with it when we went to see it but we were told it would be sorted before we got in.
