Veteran Thomas Shanks was jailed for life in April 2000 for the murder of Vickie Fletcher
A Scots SAS hero who executed his girlfriend with a Gulf War machine gun is feared to have returned here after being released early.
It is feared he may have returned to the city and adopted a new identity after winning early release from an English prison. He then went home for the Kalashnikov, a trophy from his service in the Gulf War, and returned to the scene. He also had an axe, a sheath knife and a baseball bat in his car. The plea was not accepted and a jury found him guilty of murder. He was jailed for a minimum of 18 years in 2008 when a law change forced judges to give a minimum tariff for lifers.
He was allowed back into society in November 2017 after a Parole Board hearing. Shanks told his trial he was not responsible for his actions when he shot Vickie and claimed his mind had been affected by Gulf War syndrome.
