Fife killer Cameron Allan shared an X-rated Facebook message about murder two years before his part in the death of a young father-of-three.
Monsters Allan, 21 and his former fiancée Dylan Brister, 27, were convicted earlier this month of the “most harrowing ever” murder of Calum Simpson.
In 2021, the evil pair drugged, raped and murdered Calum at Brister’s home in Methil.
Two years earlier, Allan shared a graphic that said: “A lot of us fell in love with someone that we should (have) only f***ed once. Then murdered.
He captioned the post “true”.
That same year he shared a news story about an Irish man being beaten with hammers after being lured on dating app Grindr – the same platform he and Brister used at the time of Calum’s murder seeking a “submissive” man to make up a threesome.
The court heard Calum, a stranger, arrived by chance at their house with a friend who knew the pair and later departed, leaving him alone with them.
Calum, 24, died from Etizolam – street valium – and alcohol intoxication.
The news story shared by Allan on Facebook describes the hammer murder and goes on to explain how criminals in the USA and India have used Grindr for nefarious purposes.
Grindr is described as “the world’s largest social networking app for gay, bi, trans, and queer people”.
Brister told the trial at the High Court in Edinburgh he met Allan on the site after his 16th birthday and they began a relationship.
He called off their plan to marry on the day of the wedding.
‘Out on bail’
Allan’s Facebook posts prompted angry comments following his murder conviction, with one user writing: “I hope you get life.”
On another of his accounts, he shared posts about autism, ADHD, anxiety and OCD.
It was not until four months after Calum’s murder that Allan and Brister appeared in court on petition.
Allan was in the dock at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court at a private hearing on February 1, 2022.
Both he and co-accused Brister were remanded by Sheriff Maryam Labaki.
Proceedings were delayed until late into the afternoon due to a protest carried out by one of the accused.
At a full committal hearing eight days later, a sheriff liberated Allan on bail.
‘Horrified and scared’
It only took him a week to commit another offence, propositioning a Fife hotel worker.
Allan started a conversation with the female employee and explained his plans to record a pornographic video involving him and another male.
He suggested he could arrange for the woman to take part and then showed her an indecent image of a male exposing his genitals.
The woman was left “horrified and scared.”
Allan, living on the edge of Dunfermline at the time, admitted breaching the peace and was sentenced to supervision by the social work department as an alternative to custody.
The sheriff slammed his “lack of insight”.
No “significant sexual element” was established and it was decided he did not need to be placed on the sex offenders register.
Mr Simpson’s family have blasted the fact Allan was on bail from the time of the murder until his conviction.
Mother killed in crash
In earlier life, Allan was in the headlines for very different reasons.
At the age of three he survived the car crash that killed his mother – 24-year-old off-duty PC Kirsty Allan from Rosyth – in March 2007.
Allan, reportedly being driven to a childminder, was strapped into a child seat and escaped virtually uninjured when the car skidded on ice on Dunfermline’s Grange Road, just before 8am.
The Peugeot 307 ended up on its roof in the middle of the road near the final bend before entering Dunfermline.
The toddler was taken to Queen Margaret Hospital where doctors found he was relatively unscathed.
Kirsty Allan was later described as a “loving daughter, granddaughter, wife and mother”.
During his murder trial, Allan said he was diagnosed with an attachment disorder after watching her die.
Raised by grandparents
Following the tragedy, he went to live with grandparents in Kirkcaldy’s Templehall area, where they ran a taxi company together.
As a teenager, Allan was a member of the Bike Project and was again in the news when he began training for a sponsored cycle around Beveridge Park in aid of Maggie’s.
He attended Glenwood High School in Glenrothes and Kirkcaldy High School before going on to study acting and performing arts at Fife College.
His grandmother Janice, a renowned Maggie’s charity champion, died in May 2021 aged 64, six months before Allan and Brister murdered Calum Simpson.
Pride police probe
Following his conviction last week, a Conservative MSP claimed Allan’s name was given to officers in connection with a ‘decapitate terfs [trans-exclusionary radical feminists]’ sign held up at a pro-trans rally in Glasgow last January.
The stunt – slammed by politicians and celebrities including Harry Potter author JK Rowling – prompted a police investigation.
Mid-Scotland and Fife MSP Murdo Fraser wrote on X: “I reported the sign incident to @PoliceScotland at the time, as did others.
“The name of Cameron Allan was given to them.”
Police Scotland would not be drawn on Mr Fraser’s claims.
A spokesperson said: “Extensive enquiries have been carried out and at present no-one has been arrested.
“However, the case remains open and any new information will be fully investigated.”
