A violent killer who battered a woman with a dumb-bell and left her for dead in woods will not be released early on parole.
Robbie McIntosh was jailed for life for stabbing a woman to death in Dundee when he was just 15 and was on home leave in August 2017 when he attacked Linda McDonald.
McIntosh, now 36, was sentenced to a minimum of five years for the attack and given an Order for Lifelong Restriction (OLR).
Despite being portrayed as a life sentence, the killer faced an automatic parole hearing. It has now emerged the Parole Board for Scotland has refused his bid and will review his case in two years.
McDonald told last week how she had “forgiven” McIntosh and instead blamed the system that allowed him to be released from prison in 2017.
McIntosh admitted assault to severe injury, permanent disfigurement, permanent impairment and danger to life and attempted murder over the attack.
McIntosh had already been jailed for life in 2002 for murdering Anne Nicoll.
