A rapist road killer who spent 12 years in jail after a brutal murder bid was yesterday back behind bars after flouting conditions then threatening police with a knife when they came to arrest him.
But George Cameron, who has previous convictions for causing death by reckless driving, attempted murder and rape, will be back out within weeks despite admitting the charges at Dundee Sheriff Court.
He was jailed for 12 years in 2002 after he brutally attacked a 23-year-old mother-of-one in Dundee.
The woman was left with horrific brain damage, cannot speak or feed herself and is in a “highly vegetative state”.
Cameron was released in 2010 but was recalled to jail just weeks later after flouting licence conditions.
His 12-year term finished last year with police serving a sexual offences prevention order on him that banned him from having any contact with women and forced him to declare any “friendships or social relationships” with women.
However, police were tipped off in August that he was in a “social relationship” with a woman.
She subsequently had her daughter taken from her care because of the relationship.
Dundee Sheriff Court heard that when officers turned up at his flat in Dundee, Cameron pulled out a knife and said he was going to “cut his throat out”.
Depute fiscal Vicki Bell told the court: “He shouted ‘I’m not going back to jail, get out of my f*****g house’.
“He repeatedly threatened to kill himself.”
Cameron was previously jailed for five years for causing death by reckless driving before being given six years at Reading Crown Court in 1998 for rape.
And in July 2002 he was given a 12-year sentence at Edinburgh High Court for attempted murder.
Cameron, 35, of HMP Perth, pleaded guilty on indictment to breaching the terms of a sexual offences prevention order.
Sheriff Alistair Carmichael jailed Cameron for 41 weeks and backdated the sentence to when he was taken into custody in August.
That means, with automatic early release, Cameron will be back on the streets in around six weeks.
