From graphic designer to gun runner to MI5 agent ... the strange life and ugly death of Lindsay Robb - [Sunday Herald]

HE was a gun-runner, a loyalist terrorist, a Nazi sympathiser, a Special Branch and MI5 agent, a suspected drug dealer and a man with shadowy connections to Scotland’s underworld. Lindsay Robb’s life, times and crimes increased the chances that he would one day meet a violent, ugly and early death. On Hogmanay, Robb, originally from Northern Ireland, finally did meet that violent and early end when he was butchered in the street in the east end of Glasgow – stabbed to death in front of dozens of shoppers. The 38-year-old ended his life in a pool of blood. His last words were: “I’m dying, I’m dying”.
