A Scots mum has warned of a "life or death situation" after discovering that one of her dad’s evil killers has been housed just yards away from a family member.

Karen McGuire was furious to learn that Christopher Abraham is now living opposite her 32-year-old son in Rutherglen, South Lanarkshire, after being released from prison.

Abraham and his younger brother Robert were both jailed for 10 years after admitting the culpable homicide of David Linning, 65, at his East Kilbride home in 2009.

The duo punched, kicked and slashed the well-known football referee with a blade after mistakenly believing he had assaulted their mother.They travelled to confront him at his home after receiving a text message saying she had a “sore face” but later found out she had fallen while drunk.Daughter Karen, who was there when her dad’s body was discovered two days after the attack, told how the housing blunder is causing heartache for the whole family.The 56-year-old said: “Housing one of my dad’s killers next to my son is shocking.“That’s the whole reason my son moved out of East Kilbride in the first place - to put as much distance between him and the killing as possible.“The bottom line is that this has consumed our lives for 12 years and now we’ve got this to deal with.
