He paralysed a victim with a machete and baseball bat and was once considered Scotland’s most dangerous prisoner.
was released from Low Moss Prison, near Glasgow, in August 2014, with 32 strict conditions attached, including submitting himself to regular drug tests, and meetings with the police and social workers.
While in jail, he was charged with at least nine other crimes, including attacks on prisoners and prison officers, which added 16 years to his original sentence. Forces in Greater Manchester and the West Midlands also carried out searches for Kelly on behalf of Police Scotland.They said he used aliases such as Donald Cameron, Jon Kerr and Jonathon Donnelly and had possibly grown a beard and shaved his head.
“He’s not had a chance of life yet. He’s thinking ‘I’m not going back there for nothing’. Margaret had married Kelly’s killer dad in 1994. They divorced 10 years later.Despite his horrific record, she said: “Jonathan has been hounded by the police since he got out of prison. When he got out he told me the police wouldn’t leave him alone and they were determined to get him back in.“All Jonathan has done is cut a tag off and he is being treated like a mass murderer.
It was at Glenochil, near Alloa, the thug gouged a prison officer in the eye with his thumb while trying to stab him with a plastic fork. He launched a similar attack while held at HMP Kilmarnock. The warder said: “I was alerted by a loud banging coming from the prisoner area. The prisoner was attempting to smash his way through the windows. He had shattered one of them by this time.”
He then attacked three warders in three days and was moved to Perth, where he staged a dirty protest and assaulted officers “at any opportunity I got”.
