Holy Shit! - Update...
If you follow the link that I put in the original post now, you'll find it takes you to an "error"... and yesterday The Orcadian website had taken all reference to the story off... so I can only presume there's been some kind of news blackout at that stage...
However, today The Orcadian website had this to say...
Man charged with possessing weapons
Michael Ross, 29, has been charged with possessing a cache of weapons found in a car parked outside a Glasgow supermarket.
Ross made no plea when he appeared from custody on Tuesday, at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
The discovery was made near to a branch of Tesco in the city’s Springburn area, last Friday evening. Ross, of Inverness, has been held in custody and no further date for the case has been set yet.
Basically, the story was that a car that he hired and didn't return was found in a car park only a mile away from the court he made his escape attempt from... The hire company recognised him as the person who had hired it, and when they went to collect the car they found the following in the car:
- A Czech-made Scorpion sub-machine gun
- A rifle
- 4 grenades (4!!!)
- Several knives
- An axe
- Bullets
- Army camouflage clothing
- Binoculars
Bomb disposal had to evacuate some 1,000 shoppers from the store, and spent an hour searching the car for booby traps!
That's scary! The damage that could have been done if he'd managed to get to the car with that arsenal of weapons is just unthinkable.
I'm finding it harder to believe he's innocent now, I must admit... There's no way this can be a fit-up, surely? And he's a trained sniper... and apparently a bloody good one at that! He's a trained killer... trained to kill without being seen...!
I wonder if those who set up the Bebo page proclaiming his innocence of the murder are still so sure? There was a quote there not mentioning the weapons, saying with all he had been through as a suspect for so many years, and what he'd seen in the army in Kosovo, etc. it was "no wonder he'd flipped out a bit" or words to that effect...
Surely crying, struggling a little bit, and shouting out that you're innocent would constitute "a little flip out"? I would say calmly and, with pre-meditation, hiring a car and filling it with the weapons arsenal of a 3rd world dictatorship for your escape from court is a tad more serious than that! Would you not agree?
I'll be interested to see what the local papers are saying about this tomorrow... wonder if they'll have interviews with any of those who were declaring his innocence last week?
