Ernest Barrie (born 1955) is a Scottish killer who is notable for having killed a man after having previously had his conviction for robbery quashed with help from the Rough Justice programme, which investigated supposed miscarriages of justice. Convicted of robbing a branch of the Clydesdale Bank in Blantyre in 1986, his conviction was quashed on appeal in 1989 after Rough Justice claimed that the robber caught on CCTV may not have been Barrie. Subsequently, in July 2007, he attacked and killed his 38-year-old neighbour Alan Hughes in his flat in Hutchesontown, Glasgow, inflicting 47 injuries upon him in a 15-minute long attack. He pled guilty to culpable homicide in 2009.
