Notorious Glasgow 'Beast of Ibrox' rapist dies in prison decades after attacks

Dominic Devine died in custody yesterday at the age of 67.

Devine would threaten his victims with a hammer before raping them. The violent attacks caused many women to avoid leaving their homes at night, terrified they would become the next victim of the Ibrox Beast.A young woman in her early 20s was Devine's final victim. He attacked her on Shieldhall Road late at night after his victim got off a city bus and was walking home. She was grabbed off the street by Devine and threatened with a knife.

Her description of the attacker, who had also tried to strangle her, eventually led to Devine being caught. A photofit of Devine allowed police to gather enough information from the public to arrest him. The judge sentenced him to life in prison, making him just the third person at the time in Scottish legal history to be given life for rape. In 2006, Devine was back in the news while on a parole programme at Saughton Prison, Edinburgh, 19 years into his sentence.
