HE'S STILL A DANGER TO KIDS & SHOULD NEVER BE RELEASED

Sickened parent of body-in-bin monster demands evil Leggate is denied parole

- VIVIENNE AITKEN

THE father of evil child killer Stuart Leggate is begging parole bosses to keep him behind bars.

Vile Leggate killed eight-year-old Mark Cummings after abducting him from the block of flats where they lived before stuffing his body in a bin chute.

The killer becomes eligible for parole in June after serving 20 years of his life sentence.

But now Leggate's own dad plans to contact justice bosses begging them to keep his son caged.

The dad, who was also called Stuart Leggate until he changed his name to distance himself from his son, said: "I will object to him being given parole at any stage because in my opinion he is still a danger to children.

"Mark Cummings would have been 28 years old this year but he never got a chance to see life.

"My ex-son should never be released.

"He was born in 1975 so he is almost 49 and has still a few years in front of him."

Sick Leggate was 28 when he sexually assaulted and strangled Mark, who had been reported missing after going out to play football with his pals.

Leggate had been housed in the same high-rise building as Mark in Royston, Glasgow.

The fiend dumped his victim's body in a bin bag before throwing it down a rubbish chute in Royston, Glasgow.

Judge Lord Dawson told the High Court in Glasgow Leggate was "highly dangerous" when caging him in October 2004 - but took account of his guilty plea by recommending he serve a minimum of 20 years of his life sentence behind bars.

The beast had previously been released in September 1999 after serving a sentence for assaulting boys aged three to 10.
