Killer Scots girlfriend Tasmin Glass ordered to stay behind bars as parole bid fails
A twisted girlfriend who arranged for her boyfriend to be murdered by two thugs will remain behind bars - after failing in her bid to be granted parole.
Tasmin Glass was caged for culpable homicide in 2019, after luring her partner, 27-year-old oil worker Steven Donaldson from Arbroath, Angus, to his death.
She had him attend a play park where he was attacked by Steven Dickie and Callum Davidson, who were both caged for life over his killing, which saw them using "extreme violence".
Dickie was ordered to serve a minimum of 23 years behind bars, while Davidson was sentenced to a minimum of 24 years, and Glass was jailed for 10 years.
She had been granted parole last year, five years into her 10-year sentence, but was recalled to prison earlier this year. And The Courier reports she has now failed in another bid to be released.
The publication said it comes nine months after she was granted parole in July 2024 halfway through her sentence, with her release depended on certain conditions.

Emmerdale's Vinny Dingle 'to report attacker to the police' - but it's not Mike
Emmerdale's latest episode saw Vinny Dingle preparing to contact the police after a beating from Mike, but it was teased someone else could be framed on the ITV soap One character faced being framed by Vinny Dingle in Emmerdale over a brutal attack. In sad scenes, Vinny had his fiancée Gabby Thomas believe someone else other than Mike had hurt him while he continued to lie about a theft from the night before. But as Vinny prepared to report the assault to the police during the latest episode, he broke down just moments after a confrontation with pal Kammy. It was Kammy that Gabby assumed had attacked Vinny, while she doesn't know just how badly Vinny was harmed having been kept in the dark about what's been going on lately. It comes as Mike's real identity was exposed as he beat up Vinny during Tuesday's episode, following weeks of Vinny questioning his sexuality ahead of his wedding to Gabby. Mike's real agenda also came to light as he used Vinny's torment against him in a blackmail twist. As fans know, Vinny has been questioning his sexuality ever since his near-kiss with pal Kammy. He's been left torn over whether he wants to be with Gabby despite his love for her, and he started speaking to Mike online who he thought was experiencing a similar situation to him. This is what Mike, actually Graham, had Vinny believe and this week we finally found out he was using it to blackmail him for his money. In violent scenes Mike beat Vinny on the ground before demanding £10,000. With that he fled the scene with Gabby and Vinny's wedding rings, and Vinny covered the whole thing up. Unfortunately for him Kammy sensed something was wrong and kept pushing, but he refused to confide in him. Instead, Vinny deliberately goaded Kammy into going for him cleary to get him to back off but also possibly to frame him for his bruises. The cruel twist saw Kammy shouted at by Gabby who later threatened him in the pub, refusing to listen to his version of events. Kammy later visited Vinny to ask what was going on, baffled by his behaviour. But Vinny screamed at him and refused to admit the truth, leading to Kammy telling him he needed to tell someone whatever was bothering him. In the end Kammy couldn't get through to him and left while Vinny seemed thoughtful, before a conversation with Gabby later on. We saw Vinny search for the number of the local police station on his phone, preparing to click call. But if Vinny does report the attack, could he be about to frame Kammy for the crime to cover up everything? Or might Vinny find the courage to tell the police and Gabby what went on with Mike.
