A twisted killer who kept his victim’s body in a wheelie bin for more than a year at his home in Edinburgh has died in prison following a bout of pneumonia.
Robert Chalmers was jailed for a minimum of 23 years for the gory murder of Samantha Wright after police found the victim’s partially dismembered body.
The 69-year-old - who had already spent one conviction for murder - was thought to have been in poor health for some time but was rushed to hospital from Saughton prison last week after being found with severe chest pains and shortness of breath.
