ASHOK KALYANJEE MURDERER OF GLASGOW CHILDREN MAKES SHOCK STATEMENT
In March 2010, a disturbing revelation emerged from a Scottish prison involving convicted murderer Ashok Kalyanjee.A notorious inmate recounted to fellow prisoners that Kalyanjee admitted to killing his two young sons because he believed he had the right to do as he pleased.
The inmate described the atmosphere following Kalyanjee's outburst, stating: “They were my kids, so I could do what I liked with them.” Due to the anger of other inmates threatening violence over his comments, Kalyanjee was transferred from the high-security Shotts prison to Dumfries jail, roughly 75 miles from Glasgow.
A source explained, “Kalyanjee’s been Shotts’ most reviled prisoner more or less since he arrived.
But this latest outburst really pushed some lads over the edge.
He’s twisted beyond belief.
What he did to his kids was terrible.
At the time he tried to say he was insane when he did it.
Now he’s more or less admitting he did it just because he could.
It’s sick, and his card was marked.” Kalyanjee, originally from India, was sentenced in January 2009 to life imprisonment for the brutal murder of his sons, Paul and Jay Ross, aged just six and three, in May 2008.
He stabbed them repeatedly in his car and attempted to incinerate their bodies.
The tragedy unfolded after he falsely told their mother, Giselle, he was taking the boys to play football and buy toys.
Instead, he drove to a car park in the Campsie Fells, north of Glasgow.
On the journey, he purchased a can of petrol and a knife, then called Giselle to ominously say, “You’ll regret what you did to me in this life.” Once at the location, he stabbed the boys and cut their throats.
Afterwards, he tried to kill himself by setting fire to his Mercedes, but the fire did not fully ignite.
He was later found unconscious in the wrecked vehicle.
Following the incident, Kalyanjee was transferred to Dumfries jail after a court hearing in Edinburgh on Friday, where he is appealing his 21-year sentence.
The previous month, he suffered a violent attack at Shotts prison, when an inmate threw a kettle of boiling water at him while other prisoners cheered.
As punishment for that attack, Kalyanjee was moved to the segregation block.
The prison source described the atmosphere, saying, “Kalyanjee’s been Shotts’ most reviled prisoner more or less since he arrived, and this incident just intensified the hostility.” His actions and statements remain a source of shock and disgust among the prison community and the public alike.
