Lee Inglis has confessed to the murder of Stacey Hogg, whom he stabbed in her home in Hawick. This incident occurred shortly after he learned she had entered a new relationship. Inglis had a documented history of domestic violence against Hogg, having previously avoided prison for earlier attacks.
Inglis was on a home curfew and an unpaid work order at the time of the murder. The court heard that he attacked Hogg as she descended the stairs, inflicting severe injuries. His previous convictions for domestic abuse raise concerns about the effectiveness of interventions in preventing such violence.
