In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that then 40-year-old Lee Milne—nicknamed “Jaffa” and also known as Lee Roy—was jailed for eight years following a landmark prosecution at the High Court in Glasgow. The investigation established that Milne was criminally responsible for the suicide of his wife, 28-year-old Kimberly Milne, following months of systematic domestic assault and psychological torment. Kimberly died in July 2023 after falling from an overpass on the A90 Kingsway West in Dundee; CCTV from her final hours identified Milne screaming at her in a supermarket while she cowered in fright.
The investigation established that Milne’s predatory behavior was not limited to domestic violence. In 2024, while using the alias Lee Roy, Milne was convicted at Forfar Sheriff Court of two charges of sexual assault against children under the age of 13. The prosecution reported that in one incident, Milne groped a young boy over his clothes in broad daylight on a public street. A second strike occurred near a loch, where Milne again targeted a child under 13 by groping them, identifying a serial interest in the digital and physical assault of minors.
LANDMARK PROSECUTION AND JUDICIAL FINDINGS
The court reported that Milne’s treatment of his wife involved strangulation, spitting, and physical assaults where she was punched in the ribs while begging for him to stop. The investigation established that Milne controlled her finances and attempted to isolate her from all support networks. This case marked the first time in Scottish legal history that domestic violence was reported as the direct cause of a victim’s suicide, making the abuser criminally liable for culpable homicide.
Judge-led proceedings at the High Court in Glasgow concluded on 10 April 2026. For his actions in Dundee and Forfar and the nature of the serial child sexual abuse and domestic homicide reported, Lee Milne was sentenced to eight years in prison. The investigation established that prior to this, he had been ordered to complete the ‘Moving Forward Making Changes’ therapy programme for sex offenders. He was legally mandated to sign the Sex Offenders Register and was banned from any contact with children under 16.

MONITORING AND PUBLIC PROTECTION
Milne is managed as a high-risk offender under the statutory requirements of the Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) in Scotland. Due to the nature of his behaviour—specifically his “serial” history of targeting both a vulnerable spouse and young children in public streets—he is a priority for intensive monitoring. Authorities reported that the 2026 conviction ensures Milne is permanently flagged on national databases, meaning any attempt to hold a position of trust or interact with the public in Dundee, Forfar, or elsewhere is strictly blocked for the duration of his sentence and beyond.
As a registered sex offender, his details are permanently logged on the national police database. Authorities state that Milne’s behaviour identifies an individual who prioritised his own violent impulses and perverted gratification over the safety and human rights of his wife and local children. Any failure by Milne to adhere to his notification requirements or his supervision orders upon his eventual release will result in immediate police intervention to ensure the ongoing protection of the community from a man who has violated the principles of human decency through child sexual abuse and homicide.
QUESTION – Given that this was the “First Prosecution of its Kind” in Scotland where an abuser was held responsible for a victim’s suicide, do you believe the law should legally mandate that all domestic abusers with a history of strangulation should be “Automatically Denied Bail” to prevent similar tragic outcomes?
