A SICK campaign of hate is continuing against the widow of a murdered man and her family.
The Clydebank Post has received two disturbing letters from people revelling in the killing of Benny Hagen. The writings brag that the grandfather-to-be deserved his fate in Whitecrook in November last year.
The letters also contain many spiteful rantings too alarming to print.
The Post only decided to go public with the letters after speaking with Benny's widow Diane who this week made a renewed plea for peace in the community.
Gary and Michael Gorman were both jailed for the murder of Benny Hagen, while Gary, Steven and Anne Gorman were convicted of Benny's son Sean's attempted murder.
They were jailed this month for a total of 41 years.
Benny's widow Diane is also attacked in the heartless letters, but this week she bravely rose above the spitefulness and restated her wish for peace and an end to the troubles in Whitecrook.
Diane told the Post: "I'm saddened that Benny has been murdered and they are still coming out with this stuff.
"I don't go out and socialise, I don't mix with people I just stick with family - I don't understand why they have any obsession with me.
"They have said and done things in the past but now to say they don't care that a man has been murdered just proves how evil they are.
"It's absolutely disgusting."
An email was sent to the Post after the guilty verdicts in October and a further four-page letter was posted on November 17 just after the family was sentenced.
The letter claims to want to "set the record straight once and for all" and at one point writes: "It was only going to end one way and that was death."
Shocked Diane said despite this people in the Whitecrook community have been a great support to her.
She added that she just wants peace for her and her children.
She added: "I'm still looking for all this to come to a close but they still won't let it lie - will we ever have peace in our lives?"
