Hair fetish man admits to scalping

A man with a sexual fetish for hair has appeared in court accused of scalping a woman in his bedsit.

At the High Court in Perth, Leonard Bowie, 62, admitted assaulting Mary Mullady to her severe injury and permanent disfigurement. The 51-year-old lost her long hair and most of the flesh on top of her head in the attack in a terraced house in Devonshire Road - a quiet, upmarket street in the west end of Aberdeen.

The court heard that Bowie had been jailed in Glasgow in 1983 for scalping another woman in Bishopbriggs the previous year. Bowie also admitted a sexual assault on a second woman in Aberdeen last year.

Lord Wheatley deferred sentence for three weeks. He called for psychiatric and psychologists reports and medical scans. The judge told Bowie he would be placed on the sex offenders register.

Defence advocate Frances McMenamin described Bowie as a reserved loner who thought a lot about hair and featured it in his sexual fantasies. She said a psychiatrist had assessed Bowie as having "a dull to average IQ" and very low self esteem. Ms McMenamin added that he had been on a downward spiral of depression since his divorce in the early 1980s.

PC Neil Montgomery told BBC Scotland that it was one of the most serious incidents he had seen. He said: "Flaps of skin had been cut on the top of her head, which would have hung loose were it not for the fact that coagulated blood was holding the skin together." Police cannot rule out the possibility that there are other victims of attacks by Bowie, who have not yet come forward.
