Robbie Robson, 38, died after he was bludgeoned to death with a 10kg iron weight by colleague and room-mate Scott Forrest last year.
The family of a dad who was killed on a gas rig on the coast of Qatar are to appeal the “woeful” sentence handed down to his Scottish killer.
A previous appeal was rejected in January, and they have been told these latest proceedings will be the last. “We place great faith that the Qatari justice system will agree, following this final appeal, that the woeful sentence imposed needs to be reconsidered not only to get true justice for Robbie, but to send a message to the world.”
“A more severe punishment should be imposed to reflect the gravity of the crime and the loss our family endures.” Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
