The petition was suggested and created by Peter Morris, the brother of the late Claire Morris, who lost her life at the hands of her husband, Malcolm Webster, in 1994. Malcolm Webster was convicted of Claire’s murder in May 2011 and sentenced to life imprisonment with a recommendation that he serve a minimum of 30 thirty years. This petition aims to demonstrate to the Scottish Parliament that there is widespread support for the introduction of new legislation as regard to the support and assistance offered to the victims of crime and their families.
