A prison riot on the wing where acid bath killer Alexander Pacteau was housed was sparked by a protest over missing mail, a court heard today. The 28-year-old was jailed for 23-years for the murder of Irish nursing student Karen Buckley in Glasgow and is serving his sentence at HMP Kilmarnock.
And Kilmarnock Sheriff Court heard today that a four-hour riot started on the wing where he is being held as prisoners were upset about not receiving letters. The details emerged at the sentencing hearing of Lee McLelland and Nicholas Depellette, who admitted a charge of threatening or abusive behaviour over the incident.
