Knife killer’s sister caged for sick snaps of murder victim’s butchered body locked up AGAIN for blade rampage in Paisley

Evil Irene Duncan - who was jailed for 27 months after Stephen Price murdered Scott Burgess in 2007 - admitted tooling herself up with knives in September

A KNIFE killer's sister who was caged for taking sick snaps of a murder victim's butchered body has been locked up for a blade rampage in Paisley.

Evil Irene Duncan - who was jailed for 27 months after Stephen Price and her sister Karen murdered Scott Burgess in 2007 - admitted tooling herself up with knives in September.

Devious Duncan is back behind bars after being found with knives and a screwdriver, the same kind of sick weapons her sister used to help kill Mr. Burgess.

Her sister Karen, who was just 17 at the time, was caged for seven years after admitting culpable homicide by stabbing the 24-year-old twice with a screwdriver.

Irene, who was 18 at the time, was also jailed for trying to help cover the death up by cutting the bloodstained carpet before chucking it in a rubbish chute and burning the bins below.

She then smashed up the phone and buried it- but it was recovered by cops and experts found pics she had taken of the dead body.

Now over 10 years later the knife fiend has been caged again after admitting her guilt over ANOTHER offence involving knifes.

 

She confessed to breaking bail conditions and arming herself with kitchen knives in Bank Street in the early hours of September 6.

Procurator Fiscal Depute Keri Marshall told Paisley Sheriff Court: "A witness heard what she thought to be a disturbance outside her home address.

"She looked out of her window and witnessed the now accused exit the common close of 60 Bank Street.

"She saw the accused holding two large kitchen knives at around waist height.

"Police were contacted and when they arrived at the locus they saw the accused run through the back of 55 Bank Street and out of sight."

Sheriff David Pender called for background reports to be prepared ahead of sentencing, adjourned the case until later this month and remanded Duncan in custody.

In 2008 the High Court in Glasgow heard Irene photographed Price and Karen on a mobile phone camera as they splashed about in blood red water in a bath after killing Mr Burgess.

There was no motive for the crime other than Price believing Mr Burgess had made derogatory remarks about his friends.

The court was told that the three accused hatched a drink-fuelled plot to force their way into Burgess's flat and, once inside, Price locked the front door and launched what was described as "a frenzied and sustained knife assault" involving at least 80 separate blows.

They all fled by the Duncans returned to Mr Burgess' flat and moved his body so nobody could see it from the living room.

They hauled his corpse to an upstairs bathroom and dumped face-down in the bath they filled with water and bleach, then closed the door.

Burgess' mum Ann said previously: "When the judge read the sentences out, I couldn't believe it. They are far too lenient.

"A life sentence should mean life, not just 15 years. Price should never get out.

"If he ever does get out, someone else will end up in the same position as me, mourning the loss of a child.

"The sentences handed out to the Duncan sisters were also too weak.

"Those three left my son lying on the floor for days before dumping him in a bath of bleach.

"The police got it right when they charged all three with murder and I don't know why the Crown then accepted lesser charges for the two girls.

"All three of them sat in a flat in Glen Street and planned how they'd kill my son.

"They should have been charged with conspiracy to murder and that carries a life sentence."
