CRASH 'COWARD' Four men got my daughter killed & one of them was her abusive lover, says Amy-Rose Wilson's mum
THE heartbroken mum of a woman killed in a horror car chase blasted her girl's abusive boyfriend for forcing her to get behind the wheel.
Joan Campbell, 62, insisted Ryan Patterson, 23, was as much to blame for her daughter Amy-Rose Wilson's death as the three maniacs who rammed her motor off the road.

The XL Bully breeder was in the passenger seat and survived having ordered Amy-Rose, 27, to drive him away from the drug thugs.
Now he has been caged for three years for sickening campaigns of domestic abuse against the young mum plus four other women after Joan alerted cops.
A drug dealer and two accomplices face sentencing later this month after being found guilty of culpable homicide over Amy-Rose's death.
But Joan, of Bo'ness, near Falkirk, said: 'As far as I am concerned four men were responsible for my daughter's death — the three convicted and Paterson.

'My daughter died a hero for trying to get him away from his attackers in a car she had been forced to drive.
'She must have been terrified. He's lured her into this world, through manipulation and control.
'The main victim is her eight-year-old son, left without a mummy. It breaks our hearts.'
Paterson last month admitted the abuse of five victims between 2019 and last year.

The thug strangled, kicked and punched one of his victims — and threatened to chop her up while brandishing a machete.
Paterson choked one of his exes with his hands until she started to turn purple, Falkirk Sheriff Court heard. Sheriff Craig Harris added: 'You brandished a knife at her and threatened to chop her up.'

He branded the brute 'a serial domestic abuser' with a 'complete disregard for women.'
Describing his abuse of Amy-Rose, the law chief said: 'You were abusive towards her, aggressive in her presence, damaged property and were controlling of her and assaulted her.'

Falkirk Sheriff Court heard he forced another woman to take up drugs — and branded one of his victims a 'stupid wee cow'.
He faces a non-harassment order meaning he can not contact his victims plus 12 months' supervision on his release.

Amy-Rose 'had no idea she was in danger'

Retired nurse Joan told how the thug may have been swayed by toxic influencer Andrew Tate.
She said: 'This misogyny rubbish, they always go on about getting the girl to drive.
'My daughter was essentially the controlled girlfriend.'
Joan recalled being aware Amy-Rose was seeing Paterson in the months before her death but had no idea she was in danger.

Edinburgh High Court previously heard how Amy-Rose's killers confronted her and Paterson over claims they had stolen five kilos of cannabis — and shouted at them: 'You're f*****g dead.'
Moments later she sped away from a car park in Cumbernauld.
Arslan Sajid, 24, drove a Mercedes which struck the back of the car, causing Amy-Rose's fatal injuries. Paterson was also injured in the pursuit.
Joan told how she learned of Amy-Rose's death while at a wedding in Wales.

She said: 'Nothing can prepare you for that. Initially we didn't know anything about it being related to drugs. How did my baby get involved in this? She wasn't in that world. It was utter shock.'
Joan later raised the alarm after discovering the shocking state of her daughter's flat.
She added: 'There were holes punched in the walls and kicked in the internal doors.
'I thought, 'if this is what he has done, it is domestic abuse'.

'The dog paraphernalia lying around in the flat was awful.
'I just thought, 'Amy doesn't live like this, this isn't right' and told the police. They found other girls he'd abused too - and now we've got a conviction. He's a danger to women.'
Paying tribute to her daughter, Joan said: 'Amy-Rose was always smiling. She was very beautiful and was always kind to her friends.
'Amy-Rose was an animal lover and wanted to work from horses from when she started riding at the age of nine.'
Sajid faces sentencing with associates Andrew Gregoire, 29, plus Anthony Davidson, 32 at the High Court in Glasgow on May 21.

Trial date set for three men charged over fires at Keir Starmer properties
A trial date has been set for three men charged in connection with arson attacks on two properties and a car linked to Sir Keir Starmer. Ukrainian national Roman Lavrynovych, 21, and Romanian national Stanislav Carpiuc, 26, appeared together at the Old Bailey on Friday. Ukrainian national Petro Pochynok, 34, refused to attend the hearing. Two of the fires took place in Kentish Town, north London – one in the early hours of May 12 at the home where Sir Keir lived before he became Prime Minister and moved into Downing Street.

The other fire was on May 11 at the front door of a house converted into flats in Islington. Lavrynovych, of Lewisham, south-east London, has been charged with three counts of arson with intent to endanger life on May 8, May 11 and May 12. Carpiuc, from Romford, east London, and Pochynok, of Islington, north London, are each accused of one count of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life between April 17 and May 13. Lavrynovych and Carpiuc appeared at the hearing via videolink from HMP Belmarsh, and spoke only to confirm their identities and dates of birth via an interpreter. Ms Justice Cheema Grubb told the court that Pochynok had refused to leave his cell for the preliminary hearing. All three defendants were remanded in custody to next appear for a plea and trial preparation hearing at the same court on October 17. A provisional trial date was set for April 27 next year in front of a High Court judge. A fourth person, a 48-year-old man, was arrested by police at Stansted Airport on Monday on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life in connection with the incidents. The Metropolitan Police said he had been released on bail until next month.

Glasgow sex attacker raped woman he met on Tinder dating app
Rian Hood put the victim through a horror ordeal during a campaign of abuse at his hands. The 34-year-old ex-clothes shop supervisor denied being physically or sexually violent - even claiming in a bizarre video clip that the woman had instead hurt him. Hood was convicted of rape and engaging in a course of abusive behaviour following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow. After the verdicts, jurors learned he is already serving a seven-and-a-half-year jail term imposed in 2022 for preying on four other women. He is expected to learn his fate for this latest crime when he returns to the dock later this month. Hood, formerly of the city's Knightswood, told jurors how he was initially in contact with the woman via Tinder. He stated he had never used the dating app before as "you hear all these horror stories". READ MORE: Teenager in court on attempted murder charge after boy, 15, injured in East End It was not until early 2020 that the pair physically met. He had been aware at the time of allegations made by one of the victims in the later 2022 trial. Hood claimed he told the woman in this latest case about the then accusations. He said there was "not much reaction" from her. Hood went on to move in with the woman and her mother at their home in the west of the city during one of the Covid lockdowns in 2020. He said: "It was a bit intense, but we managed it well." Hood insisted there was "seldom" any sexual contact between him and the victim while there. The woman, however, told how he stood on her face and then forced himself upon her during one attack. READ MORE: Four men jailed after £6m corruption and bribery probe at health boards Denying it happened, Hood claimed: "We would not really do much in her mum's house as it was just awkward." The abuse also took place at other flats in the north of Glasgow. His lawyer Frances Connor put to him at one stage: "Any truth that you wanted cocaine so you could have sex for hours and hours?" He refuted this, insisting the drug would have had the "opposite effect" on him. Miss Connor also asked if anything had occurred without the woman's consent. Hood again denied this. The lawyer went on: "Anything ever happened when she was asleep?" He then claimed: "No, I would never have woken her up as she was a grouch if you did."

The attacker was also physically abusive, which had included a claim he had hurled Chinese spring rolls at her. He instead alleged the woman had previously "erupted" at him after confronting him about cheating on her. Jurors were shown a mobile phone clip recorded by the woman where a drunk and topless Hood claimed he could not walk as she had "broke" his toe by allegedly throwing a towel at him. Lord Colbeck adjourned sentencing for reports. In the previous trial, Hood had been convicted of 10 charges of similar abuse against four women between 2010 and 2020. His lawyer said at the time how his life had been "somewhat blighted by a gambling addiction" which had affected his relationships. He first faced allegations involving the latest victim in 2023 while serving the seven and a half year sentence.
