Carer who murdered vulnerable teenager Margaret Fleming dies in jail

Her body has never been found despite the police and Margaret’s family pleading to the killers to reveal the location of her remains.

A fatal accident inquiry into Jones’s death is likely to be held, as is standard practice after deaths in custody.

Scottish Conservative leader Russell Findlay, who interviewed the killers when he was a journalist, said: “Margaret Fleming was a vulnerable and innocent young woman who fell into the hands of two monsters.

“With both of her killers now dead, the only tears that should be shed today are in Margaret’s memory.

“The refusal of Cairney and Jones to ever reveal the location of her remains confirms that they didn’t possess an ounce of decency or compassion.”
