FACTFILE

 

1st November 1967, Mone entered St. John's Roman Catholic High School, where he had been expelled from 3 years earlier. He held hostage a group of 15 year old girls and their teacher, Nanette Hanson, who was pregnant, for 90 minutes.

He made the pupils barricade doors and amused himself by tormenting and sexually abusing the girls. In front of them all he raped one girl and sexually assaulted another while holding a gun to her head.

The teacher pleaded with him, eventually convincing him to let the girls go. As they fled they heard a shot, he had made Nanette turn round and had shot her at close range in the back.

 

He was declared insane and sent to  the State Hospital for Scotland and Northern Ireland in Carstairs, Scotland.

 

1st December 1976, Mone and fellow inmate and lover Thomas McCulloch, escaped from the hospital, killing another inmate and a male nurse. They escaped using a rope ladder to scale the perimeter fence.  As they fled. Before being recaptured they also killed a police officer, and seriously injured another.

They were finally caught by the police near Carlisle, and taken to Barlinnie Prison.
