Limbs-in-the-loch killer William Beggs has lost a bid to win an interim court order against prison authorities as they seek to tackle the fire risk posed by the mountain of paperwork stored in his cell.
Beggs, 48, is currently serving a life sentence for the murder of teenager Barry Wallace in 1999 in Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire.
The 18-year-old victim's severed limbs were later recovered from Loch Lomond and his head was found on Barassie Beach, near Troon, in South Ayrshire.
