This is the shocking picture of a killer mum who ripped out her young son’s heart mingling with unsuspecting shoppers.
The Daily Record captured Farai Chirashi buying a pastry from Greggs, visiting shops and strolling along an Edinburgh street just 18 months after she butchered her five-year-old boy Scott.
It was only 14 months ago that a judge ruled she be detained without limit of time after she was declared insane by psychiatrists.
At the time, prosecutors said they were “satisfied that the public will be protected by her detention in a secure hospital”.
Chirashi – ruled insane – was on a supervised outing from medium-secure Orchard Clinic at Royal Edinburgh Hospital.
But last night, victims’ charities hit out at the “disgraceful” decision to allow Chirashi – who believed she was on a “mission from God” when she killed Scott – to be able to mix with the public less than two years after the incident that shocked Scotland.
