ScotRail driver 'forced to quit job over murder case taunts'

A man named in court as the possible killer of a nursery nurse murdered 22 years ago told how he was forced to leave his job as a train driver after he was taunted over the case by a colleague.

Practising Catholic Charles Lamont had a brief relationship with Elizabeth McCabe before she was found dead in woods in Dundee on the eve of her 21st birthday in February 1980. Mr Lamont said he had endured a "personal hell" since appearing as a Crown witness at the trial of Vincent Simpson in 2007, who was later acquitted of Miss McCabe's murder.
