Police hail Sentence for ‘obsessive and controlling’ domestic abuser

Police have hailed the 35-month sentence handed out to domestic abuser Kevin McCallum, after he was found guilty of a number of assaults and stalking offences.

Detective Inspector Muriel Fuller of the National Domestic Abuse Task Force said: “This was a protracted police investigation carried out by the Domestic Abuse Task Force in the North Area of Police Scotland.

“McCallum’s relationship with the women involved in this enquiry was abusive and violent. The women described him as ‘obsessive and controlling’.

“I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to these victims who came forward and assisted the police. I hope that McCallum’s conviction will help in bringing closure for them so that they can now move on with their lives.

“This case again underlines that domestic abuse is not acceptable and that Police Scotland will robustly investigate all Domestic Abuse related crimes ensuring that we keep people safe.

“We would encourage anyone who is a victim of domestic abuse to come forward. There is help and support available.”
