Glasgow killer who stamped man to death outside his home dies behind bars

A man who murdered a man outside of his home in Pollokshields has died behind bars.

Asif Reham was an inmate at HMP Shotts, North Lanarkshire when he died on Monday, according to the Scottish Prison Service.

Reham was jailed for a minimum of 16 years and three months in November 2012 for the brutal murder of 57-year-old William McKeeney.

The monster stamped his victim to death, alongside Adel Ishaq, on Melville Street as his partner Anne-Marie Newland watched on in horror from her window, reports the Daily Record.

The thugs were deemed 'a serious danger to the public' upon conviction.

In March this year, we told how Rehman left two guards with horror burns after targeting them with boiling water, hurled from a full kettle.

The lifer launched the unprovoked attack at 7.30am in HMP Addiewell, West Lothian, as three prison officers opened his cell to serve him breakfast.

Court heard that one victim, Derek Walker, suffered burns to the area around his right eye and the other, Matthew Ferguson had a similar injury to his left arm.

Police have been informed of Rehman's death.

An SPS spokesperson said: "Asif Rehman, 29, a prisoner from HMP Shotts has died on September 13, 2021.

"He was convicted at Edinburgh High Court in 2012.

"Police Scotland have been advised and the matter reported to the Procurator Fiscal.

"A Fatal Accident Inquiry will be held in due course."
