Police Scotland referred to a transgender butcher arrested in
connection with the disappearance of an 11-year-old girl as a man
Andrew George Miller, known locally as Amy, was taken into police custody
on Monday night after the 11-year-old girl who disappeared on Sunday, was
found “safe and well” at a home in Gattonside near Galashiels after being
missing for more than a day.
Police confirmed yesterday that a “53-year-old man”, understood to be Miller,
had been arrested in connection with the disappearance, which caused grave
concerns for the child’s welfare and led to a desperate search and rescue
mission being launched.
“Andrew has been known as Amy for some time and often wore a wig and
women’s clothes.
The Millers of Melrose business was featured in the novel Career of Evil by JK
Rowling, under her pen-name Robert Galbraith.
A local dad said: “The police turned up on Monday night.
“We were told it was something to do with the missing girl but I didn’t see
anyone coming or going.
“It’s very worrying to have this here, especially as a father of two young kids
myself.”
The youngster was reported missing from the Gala Park area of Galashiels.
She had been last seen heading towards her family home.
Police described her disappearance as “very out of character” and a huge search was launched.
On Monday locals, police and search and rescue teams scoured the town’s streets, green spaces and waterways.
But the frantic hunt came to an end when she was found at a house in the area.
Miller had recently expressed his support for the SNP’s gender self-ID Bill,
writing on Facebook: “Silly Billys in Westminster . . . Never mess with Scottish
Transgender Issues.”
