A MEMBER of one of Scotland's most notorious families is believed to have died in a fire at his home which police are investigating. The victim is thought to be a member of the Graham family, once known as the "family from hell", who gained notoriety in Glenrothes, Fife, and whose behaviour prompted public debate on what could be done about anti-social neighbours.The family later moved to the North-east fishing town of Fraserburgh.

A fire broke out in a tenement flat in the town yesterday and the body of a man was later found. Police confirmed they were investigating the fire, but would not confirm that they were treating it as suspicious. They confirmed the flat was occupied by the Graham family, but have not released the identity of the dead man. "There is a team inquiring into the cause of the fire", a spokesman said.
