Furious mob chant 'beast out' as blind Scots paedophile carted out home by police

Police removed a blind paedophile from a property in East Kilbride after a vigilante mob gathered chanting 'get the beast out now'.

Officers were called to the street at 6pm on Monday night after a crowd had gathered demanding convicted pervert Guy Kibblewhite leave the area. The 58-year-old admitted to having hundreds of child sex abuse images on his phone and used a voice activation device to help him decipher them at Hamilton Sheriff Court on Friday last week.

He was caught when a delivery driver spotted a picture of a naked boy on his phone. He was placed on the sex offenders' register and bailed after sentencing was deferred.

Unfortunately with his second amputation, the rented council home at Cluny Terrace in Letham he has shared with his wife Dawn and their 20 year-old disabled daughter has now been deemed unsuitable for his needs and the family has been told by Perth and Kinross Council they must move to other accommodation.
