The Buckhaven Child Killer, Rab Thomson, a Scottish murderer who brutally killed his two children in their family residence in Fife following the dissolution of his wife, has been denied parole.
In 2008, Rab Thomson brutally murdered his crippled daughter Michelle, aged 25, and his seven-year-old son Ryan.
The 67-year-old received a 17-year term for the killings at Buckhaven. His ex-wife, June, recently implored the Parole Board to deny him his release, a sentiment mirrored by several community members.
Richard Baker, MP for Glenrothes and Mid Fife, has announced that the perpetrator has been denied parole following correspondence with the authority, which included his wife, MSP Claire Baker.
Rab Thomson, who murdered his seven-year-old son and crippled daughter in Buckhaven in 2008, has been denied parole.My wife, Claire Baker MSP, and I, who corresponded with the board advocating for this conclusion, endorse the decision.
Many individuals in Levenmouth are likely to share this sentiment.
Rab Thomson is suspected of murdering his children as an act of vindictive retribution against his separated wife June, who departed after 27 years of abuse and assault.
During his initial authorised visit following June’s departure, Rab Thomson fatally stabbed Ryan 14 times while the child was engaged in a computer game at their residence in Buckhaven, Fife, on May 3, 2008.
He thereafter directed the knife towards Michelle, inflicting 12 stab wounds as she struggled for survival, transforming her bedroom into a scene of carnage.
Following the murder of his children, Rab Thomson arranged each child’s body in bed, positioning them to resemble little angels for his wife to discover.
