A violent monster who battered and raped two women and attempted to murder one of them by holding her head under water – as well as assaulting three children and kicking and punching three dogs – has been jailed for 12 years.
Malcolm Leask, 35, perpetrated a catalogue of “violence and abuse of children, women and animals” at addresses in Orkney and Clackmannanshire, a jury heard.
He was convicted on Wednesday, April 26, after a trial at the High Court in Stirling and sentenced at Edinburgh High Court on Wednesday.
