Double rapist caught by lucky DNA break

A DOUBLE rapist escaped justice for years until an ex-lover reported him for domestic abuse.

Peter Hendry attacked two prostitutes in 2004 and 2007 after driving them to an industrial estate near Glasgow.

The father-of-four was caught only last year when his DNA matched that found on both victims.

It came after police tested him following an alleged assault on a former partner which lead to his arrest for the sex attacks.
