A woman who planned her ex-boyfriend’s murder has been returned to prison after being granted early release.

Steven Donaldson, from Arbroath, was brutally murdered in 2018 by two men after his former girlfriend Tasmin Glass lured him to a playpark.

The 27-year-old’s loved ones were told on Tuesday that Glass had been sent back to prison.

It comes nine months after she was granted parole in July 2024 halfway through her ten-year sentence for culpable homicide.

Her release depended on following conditions which included a ban on her entering Angus and Dundee, as well as approaching the family.

She was 20 years old when she lured her former boyfriend Steven Donaldson to a playpark in Kirrimeuir in 2018, before two men Callum Davidson and Steven Dickie attacked him and then brutally killed him at a nearby nature reserve.

The trio were given a combined 57 year sentence.

One of the men convicted for murdering Mr Donaldson – Steven Dickie – took his own life in prison in 2019.

The Scottish Prison Service confirmed that Dickie had died at HMP Perth.

Last year, Mr Donaldson’s loved ones described the news of Glass’ release as a “disaster”, saying it’s not the outcome they wanted.

But they did say they were pleased to see restrictions on her freedom put in place.

It is not known why Glass has been returned to prison.
