A rapist who preyed on women working as prostitutes has been jailed for nine years after evidence from a now dead victim was used to help convict him.
As previously reported, one of Kenneth Williamson’s victims asked him if he was going to kill her after he raped her and another feared she was going to die.
Williamson, 33, abducted the two women after picking them up from streets in Dundee and Edinburgh and subjected them to terrifying ordeals.
A judge told him at the High Court in Edinburgh that his crimes, committed in January and April last year, were “predatory” offences committed against vulnerable victims.
Lord Turnbull said: “Each victim was subjected to a violent sexual assault involving abusive and humiliating conduct.”
