Twisted Rhys Bennett set mum-of-two Jill Barclay on fire while she was still alive after raping her
A fundraising campaign to purchase and demolish a building where a Scots mum was murdered has now hit more than £20,000.Now Ms Barclay's partner, Leon Grant, wants to have Farburn Gatehouse demolished. The current owners have agreed to sell the derelict property after purchasing it for £76,000.
Mr Grant and some of Jill's other nearest and dearest launched the campaign to raise £90,000 earlier this month to finance the sale and demolition. "The purchase price including fees is £87k and we have been told demolition will be £3k, hence the lower figure. Jill’s partner is looking into the possibility of then gifting the land to the Scottish trust.
Sentencing evil Bennett in May, Judge Lord Arthurson told the 23-year-old at the High Court in Edinburgh: "To be crystal clear, you burned her alive”. He added that the crimes were “unimaginably wicked and indeed medieval in their barbarity".
