A PROBE is to be launched into the death of a prisoner in a Scottish jail on Christmas Eve.
Robert Campbell passed away while a prisoner at HMP Low Moss in East Dunbartonshire, the Scottish Prison Service (SPS) said.
The SPS confirmed the 49-year-old died on December 24, and said: “He was sentenced at Falkirk Sheriff Court in 2021.
“Police Scotland have been advised and the matter reported to the Procurator Fiscal.”
A Fatal Accident Inquiry will be held in due course to establish the circumstances of the death.
Just 12 days before Campbell died, there was a death of another prisoner at HMP Glenochil.
The SPS said Robert Carr, 45, died on December 12 and was sentenced at Edinburgh High Court in 2017.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
