THE furious mum of murdered teen Paige Doherty slammed a Facebook troll who said "there were worse crimes" than the killing of her daughter who was stabbed 61 times.
Outraged mother Pamela Munro hit out at comments on a post revealing Paige's killer John Leatham had been battered in prison.
The Sun exclusively revealed Leathem, 32, suffered face wounds after being attacked by fellow lag James Gellately in HMP Dumfries.
Serial rapist Gellately rained blows on Leathem’s head and face as he tucked into his tea, a jail report revealed, before two guards dragged Gellately away.
On a Facebook post discussing the prison attack, one woman sparked fury when she said there had been "worse crimes" than Paige's murder.
She said: "It does get worse than murdering a 15-year-old girl, there's people out there that kills babies, toddlers and kids.
"Plus you never know who that guy raped or what age they were."
The Daily Record reports that her mum Pamela Munro reacted furiously: "You are a total clown, playing down an innocent 15-year-old girl's murder because a rapist beat up her killer.
"Nobody condones a rapist at all and never but I tell you if could live with Paige back with us after having been raped we would take that."

Dad-of-two Leathem stabbed Paige in a frenzied attack at his deli in Clydebank, near Glasgow.
He inflicted more than 140 knife injuries on the defenceless teen before dumping her body at the side of a road last March.
On Facebook, Mrs Munro said that officers involved in the case were "reduced to tears looking at a wee girl who was basically unrecognisable".
She claimed that her tragic daughter had suffered "over 500" injuries.
Mrs Munro told the troll: "As for there being worse killings, tell that to the murder investigation team.
"Your comments are vile and you should think before you open your mouth.
"There's always a select few that think oh well it's done now, life goes on.
"But for us it never will and for Paige, her life is gone.
"If half these people met Paige once they'd be honoured, she truly was one of a kind."
She said that Paige's killer "deserves a slow painful death not high protection".
The woman insisted that she wasn't playing down the murder of Paige.
In December, shameless fiend Leathem appealed his 27-year sentence, and was sent to solitary before being transferred to another nick.
An insider revealed the brutal assault happened shortly after Leathem, 32, arrived at Dumfries prison last year.
They said: “When Leathem came down to Dumfries in November he was put into the general population.
“Things were said about him and his offence in the company of other prisoners, including Gellately.
“Word got back to Leathem who then approached Gellately and words were exchanged. Gellately said to him he wasn’t some little girl he could terrorise and Leathem said he didn’t know what he was talking about — that’s what lit the fuse.
“Gellately then assaulted him and left him with nasty bruising to the side of his face.
“It was dealt with within the prison system and 48 hours after the attack Gellately was transferred to Barlinnie.”
The source added: “Gellately’s a volatile character and Leathem goes about the place like he’s done nothing wrong.
“Every time he reads something in the paper about his crime he hides behind his door like a recluse because he’s too scared to come out.”
Prison documents seen by The Scottish Sun show the assault happened at around 4.10pm on November 27 — two days after Leathem’s switch from Low Moss nick in Bishopbriggs, near Glasgow.
One inmate said: “He’s been a dead man walking since the day he arrived.”
He was moved 75 miles to Dumfries which houses the country’s most notorious sex beasts.
Gellately was caged for ten years in 2015 after he was found guilty of a string of attacks, including four rapes and an indecent assault.
His victims were targeted in Dumfriesshire, East Kilbride and Kilmarnock from 2006 to 2013.
In November he admitted fighting wardens as they tried to stop him slashing his wrists.
He got six months to run alongside his ten-year term.
The Scottish Prison Service said: “We cannot comment on individual prisoners.”
