Head-on-the-beach killer Vitas Plytnykas is to leave Perth Prison to go back to jail in his homeland.
The former Red Army soldier is serving life for the murder of 35-year-old Jolanta Bledaite at her flat in Brechin in 2008.
The young woman’s head and hands were found washed up on an Arbroath beach by two young sisters playing at the seaside.
Plytnykas and fellow Lithuanian labourer Aleksandras Skirda murdered Jolanta as part of a plot to steal £1,400 from her bank accounts.
They threatened, bound and gagged their countrywoman on her bedroom floor while Plytnykas twice tried to use her bank cards and PINs and Skirda stood guard over her while smoking a cigarette.
After the first unsuccessful attempt to withdraw money, the duo assaulted her and even after they got the cash they suffocated her with a pillow before chopping up her body.
In a horrific twist, they transported body parts across Angus by bus in Lidl shopping bags and dumped them in Arbroath harbour hoping the waves would wash away the evidence.
But instead the sea brought the clues back to the shore.
Plytnykas has been on hunger strike at Perth where he is despised among his fellow cons.
He was attacked by 20 fellow inmates while on remand in 2008 for Jolanta’s murder.
