Widow of tragic Elgin bus driver hits out as killer to get free bus pass upon release
Mr Rollinson was 58 when he died in Dr Grays Hospital following a brutal attack at Elgin Bus Station last February.
His 16-year-old killer, who can't be named for legal reasons, was sentenced to four years and four months' detention in November for culpable homicide.
He's currently being held in 'five-star hotel conditions' at the Safe Centre secure unit in Paisley.
Following his conviction for killing Keith, it emerged that the boy had previously attacked another bus driver and had only finished his sentence for that three weeks prior.
Upon release, he will be eligible for a free bus pass through the Young Persons' (Under 22s) Free Bus Travel Scheme.
Keith's wife, Susan Rollinson, is calling for the SNP to listen to her plea as 'something needs to change'.
The mum-of-two told The Daily Mail: 'The boy who killed my husband will be entitled to a free bus pass when he is released, even though he attacked and killed a bus driver and previously attacked another one.
'I need the SNP to listen to me, listen to the public.
'Something needs to change.'
Her plea is backed by Scottish Tory leader Russell Findlay, who has now written to Justice Secretary Angela Constance and Education Secretary Jenny Gilruth.
In his letter, he stated: 'The passenger, now 16, was charged with murder but a plea deal resulted in him admitting a lesser charge of culpable homicide.
'Sue's pain was further compounded by your government's Under-25 sentencing guidelines, which meant that her husband's killer was sentenced to four years and four months in secure accommodation.
'This tragedy is one of many cases of serious violence inflicted by young people in possession of free bus passes.'
He added: 'I would be grateful if you could give a clear commitment to remove bus passes from those who misuse them and provide a specific date on when this will happen.
'It is truly sickening to know that if this matter is not dealt with, Keith's killer will again be entitled to a free bus pass upon his release from custody.'
In November, Mrs Rollinson said the Scottish Government's free bus scheme for under-22s should be limited to weekdays up to 7pm, with permanent bans imposed on people who abuse drivers.

Lucy Connolly to walk FREE: Tory Councillor's wife who was jailed last year for 'racist' Tweet during the Southport riots is being released from prison in a matter of hours
Lucy Connolly is set to walk free from prison in just a matter of hours after being jailed for writing a racist tweet during last summer's riots. The mother and former childminder has spent more than nine months behind bars after admitting making the inflammatory post on X in the wake of the Southport attacks in July last year. Connolly, who is also the wife of Tory Councillor Ray Connolly, pleaded guilty to a charge of inciting racial hatred and was handed a 31-month sentence in October. The post, which she later deleted, said: 'Mass deportation now, set fire to all the f****** hotels full of the b******* for all I care... if that makes me racist so be it.' She has been serving time at HMP Peterborough and had an application to have her sentence reduced rejected in May. But, the Daily Mail can now reveal that Connolly is due to be released on Thursday. The news will come as a huge boost to her husband and 12-year-old daughter as well as campaigners calling for her release. Connelly's imprisonment had prompted allegations that she was a victim of 'two-tier justice', with claims that those with right-wing views are treated more harshly than others in the UK. Connolly's X post was made just hours after killer Axel Rudakubana murdered three young girls and attempted to murder 10 others at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class on July 29, sparking nationwide unrest. She was arrested on August 6, by which point she had deleted her social media account. But other messages which included other condemning remarks were uncovered by officers who seized her phone. The Southport atrocity sparked nationwide unrest, with several people - including Connolly - jailed as a result. Her tweet was viewed 310,000 times in three-and-a-half hours before she deleted it. She later pleaded guilty to distributing material with the intention of stirring up racial hatred at Birmingham Crown Court and was sentenced to 31 months in prison in October. In May, she had an appeal against her sentence refused by three Court of Appeal judges at the Royal Courts of Justice. In a written judgment, Lord Justice Holroyde, said: 'There is no arguable basis on which it could be said that the sentence imposed by the judge was manifestly excessive. 'The application for leave to appeal against sentence therefore fails and is refused.' He added that the principal ground of appeal 'was substantially based on a version of events put forward by the applicant which we have rejected'. Connolly argued she had been 'really angry' after the Southport attacks, but hours after posting the rant on X realised it was not an acceptable thing to say, so deleted it. She also said that news of the Southport murders had triggered her anxiety caused when her baby son, Harry, died as the result of a hospital blunder 13 years earlier. At her appeal case, Adam King, representing Connolly, asked if she had intended for anyone to set fire to asylum hotels or 'murder any politicians'. She replied: 'Absolutely not.' Naeem Valli, for the prosecution, told the court the post was a reflection of her attitude towards immigrants. At the time Mr Connolly told of the pain of his wife's long imprisonment, saying: 'The 284 days of separation have been very hard, particularly on our 12-year-old girl.' Connolly's case later became international news, with US officials saying earlier this year they are keeping tabs on developments over their 'concerns' about free speech. A State Department spokesman said in May: 'We can confirm that we are monitoring this matter. The United States supports freedom of expression at home and abroad, and remains concerned about infringements on freedom of expression.' It came after political commentator and Trump ally Charlie Kirk was made aware of Connolly's ordeal after a visit to the UK and vowed to get the US State Department involved in the process. Appearing on GB News, Kirk said: 'I am going to try and get the US State Department involved. I'm going to bring this up to Marco Rubio. I'm going to send him a text.' Kirk had been in the UK for a debate at the Oxford Union on Monday when the case of Mrs Connolly was raised. He later appeared on GB News, during which he said: 'I'm sorry, speaking as a citizen not on behalf of the US government, is this a way that a liberal democracy and ally of the United States acts? Kirk continued: 'I just find it so outrageous that she is now going to jail for two and a half years for a deleted social media post that she apologised for. As you guys (the UK) have birthed free speech to the world, you are now becoming a totalitarian country. 'I'm going to bring this up to Marco Rubio. I'm going to send him a text. This should be mentioned. It's not new.' Connolly's sentence was recently brought under the spotlight again last month after a man who abused a first class cabin crew on a flight from London was jailed for just 15-months. Recruitment tycoon Salman Iftikhar, 37, was flying in first class when he launched a vile tirade of abuse towards Virgin Atlantic staff on a flight from London Heathrow to Lahore in his homeland of Pakistan. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said the sentence was evidence of 'two-tier justice', given Connolly was jailed for more than double his sentence. Mr Philp told the Mail last month: 'Iftikar was sentenced to only 15 months in prison last week for threatening an air stewardess with gang rape and for racially aggravated harassment. Iftikhar has multiple previous convictions. 'Yet Lucy Connolly got 31 months for a far less serious offence - a prosecution Lord Hermer personally authorised. 'This is two-tier justice in action. 'I have today referred the case to the Attorney General Lord Hermer for review under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme. 'We'll now find out if Hermer is willing to take action to fix Britain's two-tier justice problem.'

'Please don't move us': Epping asylum seeker speaks to ITV News after High Court ruling
After Tuesday's High Court ruling that migrants should be removed from a hotel in Essex, ITV News understands that 24 other councils are now considering their own legal challenges. ITV News UK Editor Paul Brand reports An asylum seeker living in the Bell Hotel in Epping has told ITV News he feels "helpless" after the High Court ruled that migrants should be moved out of the hotel. In the first interview with an asylum seeker in the hotel since the council won a legal challenge on Tuesday, Khadar Mohamed told ITV News his message to the people of Epping was: "Please don't do this to us". "Please don't move us, if you move us everyone else will want to do the same to us," he said. It comes as more than 20 other local councils told ITV News they were looking closely at the ruling to consider their next steps. And Conservative party leader Kemi Badenoch is encouraging Tory councils to fight asylum hotels in their areas. In a letter to all Conservative controlled councils, she welcomed the ruling in favour of Epping Forest District Council, writing: "I am encouraging Conservative council leaders to take the same steps if your legal advice supports it." However, for Mohamed, 24, who is from Somalia, said the High Court decision was "scary" and "emotionally painful". He told ITV News Senior Producer Nathan Lee he was surprised by the mass protests outside the Essex hotel in recent weeks. "I never thought I'd be coming here and then that would be happening to me, people not wanting me there," he said. On Tuesday, a High Court judge ruled the former Bell Hotel in Epping must stop housing asylum seekers by September 12. The hotel has been at the centre of a series of protests in recent weeks after an asylum seeker who was staying there was charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl. Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu has denied the charges against him and is due to stand trial later this month. A second man who resides at the hotel, Syrian national Mohammed Sharwarq, has separately been charged with seven offences, while several other men have been charged over disorder outside the hotel. Mohamed told ITV News that since the arrests, he had found the situation "hostile" and "difficult". "Everything changed," he said. "Now we're seen as criminals, before we were just normal people." But Mohamed said he wanted to speak out because - "I want to make the people know that I'm not what they say I am". "After the incident, people look at you and they're scared for their life, they're scared for their kids and pushing them behind their backs. "I'm not here to harm anybody, I'm here to look for safety, to look for a better life," he insisted. Mohamed travelled through Turkey, Austria and Germany before crossing the channel to get to the UK, and has now been granted asylum. He said he thinks the people of Epping "have a reason to be mad" because of the number of asylum seekers coming to the area. "I know they're mad over the whole thing about the government and how they dealt with this - I'm sorry, but I'm not at fault, I'm looking for a better life," he said. "I'm not trying to take anything from them, not trying to make their lives difficult," Mohamed insisted. "The only offence I've committed is coming to this country illegally, I'll confess to that. But I had to do it - I had no option," he told ITV News. Th e government says it is looking at "contingency options" for asylum seekers at the Bell Hotel in Epping, insisting it will also "find alternative locations" for other asylum seekers in hotels across the country. Responding to the ruling, Home Office minister Dan Jarvis said: "We're looking very carefully at the court ruling that was handed down yesterday, we'll want to identify a range of contingency options for how those people can be appropriately accommodated elsewhere." Jarvis refused to say what the alternative locations for asylum seekers would be, insisting "it would vary depending on different locations", and the government will "have to look at a range of different scenarios". Multiple councils are now considering the Epping ruling to see whether they could mount similar legal News has contacted every council across the country to ask how they intend to respond to the High Court judgement. So far, 24 said they were looking closely at it to consider their next steps, leaving open the option of taking their own legal action. A Labour Party spokesperson, responding to Kemi Badenoch's letter to Tory councils on asylum hotels, said: "This is desperate and hypocritical nonsense from the architects of the broken asylum system.

Prisoners like Angus killer Tasmin Glass could have fewer freedom bids under parole reform proposals
Prisoners like Angus killer Tasmin Glass could be forced to spend longer periods behind bars in between parole hearings. A consultation on parole reforms has been launched by the Scottish Government, considering transparency and communication issues that plague victims in the current process. The consultation comes in the wake of The Courier's A Voice for Victims campaign which has called for these much-needed reforms. We have worked with the family of Glass' victim Steven Donaldson, Linda McDonald who survived an attack by Dundee murderer Robbie McIntosh, and the family of Barry Smullen who was stabbed to death in Perth. Justice Secretary Angela Constance spoke exclusively to The Courier as the parole consultation was launched, saying she believes the process must have victim wellbeing at its heart. The consultation considers 43 questions, which collectively have the potential for important reforms to improve the lives of victims and increase transparency. Potential areas for change include how long a criminal should have to wait between parole hearings after being denied by the board. Currently, for prisoners like Tasmin Glass it is 12 months, and for prisoners like Robbie McIntosh it is two years. Glass is a long-term prisoner while McIntosh is on an order of life restriction. That could be increased depending on the results of the consultation. Victims and their families have long pointed to this aspect of parole as one of the most traumatising, as they feel like they are constantly being forced to engage with the process. Another question raises the possibility of more people attending parole hearings. It asks if victims should have an automatic right to be there, or if media could watch proceedings. Other options include more detail being given by the parole board around its decisions to release or not release. One long-sought reform that is not in the consultation is the current automatic right for long-term prisoners to be considered for parole halfway through their sentence. The Justice Secretary said that question would need to come through a different part of legislation. The Justice Secretary spoke with The Courier in Dundee on Wednesday afternoon, the day of the launch. She applauded The Courier's campaign to help drive these reforms forward. 'I am determined that the parole system, at its very heart, has to have victims and their families and their interests,' said Ms Constance. She added: 'That's crucial to the deliberations that the parole board has to make that's ultimately about public safety as well as rehabilitation. 'The Courier has been a great advocate for victims and their families and has led a campaign that is driven on improvements. 'So while there are some really important fundamental questions about how we improve that overall openness, transparency, information, (and) treatment of victims. 'There are also issues that are important in terms of process and management. 'There's an appetite for us to be looking at all of that. 'This is an attempt by the government to be open and its built on the engagement that we've had with victims, and the advocacy that victims themselves, and papers like The Courier, and victims support organisations have championed.'
