Tragic mother's attacker is given a taste of freedom after just one year in prison
A 'violent monster' who was jailed for abusing his partner before her death has been offered a taste of freedom – after serving just one year behind bars. Demi Hannaway, 23, died in May 2021 after Andrew Brown throttled, spat at, and hit her countless times over two years, often in front of their children. Last year the 33-year-old admitted abusive and threatening behaviour and was jailed for three-and-a-half years. A Fatal Accident Inquiry initially concluded that the 23-year-old killed herself, but her parents insist Brown may have been responsible. Now just 13 months since a Sheriff accused him of 'horrendous' crimes and sent him to jail, Brown is preparing to spend up to a week every month on home leave. The thug has already moved to open prison Castle Huntly, where he has been allowed out to do work placements and meet with social workers. Demi's devastated parents, who have previously campaigned for Brown to be dealt a harsher sentence, say the news has left them 'sickened to our stomachs'. Mum Helen stressed: 'A violent monster like Brown should not be walking the streets just a year after being sentenced to almost four years in jail. The Justice Secretary needs to answer some very tough questions on how and why this has happened.' The decision to grant Brown additional freedoms comes after Scotland's top law officer ordered a fresh investigation into the nature of Demi's death in February. They have criticised Police Scotland's handling of the investigation, lodging a formal complaint including claims that police took an hour to arrive and there was evidence of a violent struggle in the house. Evidence including clumps of Demi's hair and blood splatters around the house were also ignored, as was Brown's alleged admission to attending officers that it was 'all his fault'. The Hannaways later discovered further damning evidence of Brown's toxic relationship with Demi, which they say point to his responsibility for the young woman's death. Facebook messages sent by Brown call his partner a 'cancerous cow' warning: 'U will get your day u evil, filthy boot. And al [sic] laugh and laugh'. Her phone was found smashed and hidden, with the SIM card missing, raising questions over the possible existence of further abusive messages. Dad John said: 'We've fought every inch of the way to have Demi's death re-opened because the shambolic police investigation was so deeply flawed it was nonexistent - only to discover Brown has been moved to open prison and is granted home leave.' His wife agreed: 'We finally felt that we were being listened to after four years fighting for justice. We were hopeful, only to discover that Brown has been moved to an open prison and is being allowed out. We had not been consulted or warned. It has been a complete shock. Labour MSP Claire Baker, who raised the family's calls for a new probe in Holyrood, added: 'It's shocking to discover Andrew Brown is getting home release barely a year into his sentence, particularly at a time when the Lord Advocate is looking again at the circumstances of Demi's death. On balance, the decision to allow home release is wrong and needs to be looked at again.' A spokesman for the Scottish Prison Service said: 'We do not comment on individuals. Anyone assessed for temporary home leave is subject to a rigorous multiagency risk assessment and, if approved, individualised plans are put in place to meet their risks and needs.' They explained that prisoners at Castle Huntly are assessed and 'tested' in the community as they prepare for release, and are often subject to strict curfews and geographic restrictions.

Police Scotland ‘dithering' over trans strip search guidance
Police Scotland has been accused of 'dithering' over adopting a 'common sense' policy that sees suspects searched by officers of the same sex. Following the Supreme Court ruling that 'sex' in the Equality Act 2010 is defined as 'biological sex, not gender identity', the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) issued clear guidance on how to conduct body searches. In cases that involve a transgender person, the new guidance states that they should be searched by a police officer of the same biological sex and not their self-identified gender. Scotland's national force, however, has yet to adopt the policy. It said it is being considered and advice has been sought from an independent human rights adviser. Tess White, the Scottish Conservative shadow minister for equalities, said the way the force was dragging its feet over implementing the policy was 'troubling'. 'Basic common sense' Calling on the SNP Government to ensure that all public bodies, including Police Scotland, follow the law, she added: 'It's basic common sense that a body search of a suspect ought to be carried out by an officer of the same biological sex and, given the unequivocal ruling of the Supreme Court in April, this issue shouldn't be up for debate. 'The Supreme Court ruling was very clear and the public will expect the police to be among the very first to uphold it.' The NPCC, which brings together police leaders to set direction for policing across the country, circulated updated guidance to every force in the country last month. It followed a landmark ruling by the Supreme Court which came about after the Scottish Government included transgender women in quotas to ensure gender balance on public sector boards. Campaign group For Women Scotland (FWS) argued that sex-based protections should only apply to people born female. The NPCC said its guidance is based on 'legal advice' and has been developed after seeking views across policing as well as those of other agencies. 'It reflects working practice which already happens every day across policing, where officers and detainees make requests about searches for a multitude of reasons,' the organisation stated. 'It makes clear that thorough police searches, such as those which expose intimate body parts, should be carried out by police officers and staff of the same biological sex as the detained person.' The guidance also states that a trans person who requests that a search be conducted by an officer of their stated gender may be considered. According to the guidance, it is 'explicit' that any search not conducted in line with biological sex must have the 'written consent of the detainee, the officer carrying out the search as well as the authorising officer'. Review is 'complex' Catriona Paton, Police Scotland's Assistant Chief Constable, said an ongoing review into sex and gender was 'complex, sensitive work, and the wellbeing of our people and communities is a priority'. 'We are operating within a dynamic and evolving landscape and it is critical that we take time to consider all the views, legislation, guidance and legal advice to ensure our proposals are well-informed and evidence-based,' she added. The force has been criticised for embracing gender self-identification and faced a backlash for allowing rapists to 'self-declare' their gender identity. A spokesman for FWS said: 'Like many public bodies, the police were quick to dance to the tune of trans lobbyists, going far beyond the law and adopting policies of self-ID. 'Now that the Supreme Court has ruled that equality law refers to biological sex, they are dragging their heels. The police, of all bodies, should follow the law – it really isn't complicated.' Kenny MacAskill, the former Alba Party leader and former Scottish justice secretary, called on Police Scotland and the Scottish Police Authority to act quickly to end the current practice of female officers conducting body searches of biological men who self-identify as women. 'Officers have to carry out stop and searches, but it is preposterous to expect a female police officer to carry out a body search of an obviously male person self-identifying as female,' he said. 'The Supreme Court [ruling] should be the clarion call for an end to the idiocy.'
