She told the High Court in Glasgow how she spotted the brutal murderers - who smoked heroin while babysitting - leaving the flat before midnight on the fateful night, later returning after the horrific deed was done.

After the Daily Record told Linda Dorrian, 53, she was regarded as the “key witness”, she blasted: “I’m very surprised to hear now that I’m the key witness. That was never said to me by anyone.
