A serial thief has been found dead in prison - three days after he appeared in court charged with a fresh break-in. The body of Scott Graham was discovered by prison staff at HMP Low Moss, near Bishopbriggs, on October 16.
The Renfrew man, 40, had been remanded in custody on October 13, after appearing at Paisley Sheriff Court on a charge of attempting to open a locked property with intent. Justice bosses have been informed and will stage a Fatal Accident Inquiry in court at a later date to investigate the cause of death.
A Scottish Prison Service spokesperson said: "Scott Graham, 40, a prisoner at HMP Low Moss has died on 16 October 2022. He was remanded at Paisley Sheriff Court in 2022. Police Scotland have been advised and the matter reported to the Procurator Fiscal. A Fatal Accident Inquiry will be held in due course."
