Mark Law, 44, stormed into the Alloway Centre mental health unit with a blade he had bought earlier that day with the intent to 'attack and kill staff within'.
A thug who threw a knife at NHS staff he wanted to kill while on a crack cocaine-fuelled spree of terror may spend the rest of his life behind bars.
At the High Court in Edinburgh Lord Arthurson sentenced Law to an order for lifelong restriction with a minimum term of three years before he is eligible for parole, backdated to June 3 2021. However, the judge told Law, who has a significant history of drug use, that he will never be guaranteed release.
And during an interview ahead of sentencing, Law threatened to use violence if he was incarcerated permanently. He calmly told the author of a risk assessment report that he would "take life and take my own life", that an OLR "will bring death", and: "“If I get an OLR, I will dedicate my life to murder."
