There was no answer at the home of Thomas McCulloch’s partner when The Courier called.
The triple axe murderer was seen going into Susan Perrie’s building on Tuesday afternoon, just hours after he had been released from Castle Huntly open prison.
It is understood McCulloch, who murdered three men during a break-out from Carstairs State Hospital with Dundee killer Robert Mone in 1976, may now settle in Dundee.
Neighbours greeted the news of his release with mixed reactions.
One man said: “I’m fine with him being here so long as he doesn’t come near this door. He should never have been let out. I don’t think you change. He’s obviously sick in the head.”
Another neighbour said: “He was getting home visits a while ago so the word went up and down the closie he was here. I was glad to see him on the news so I know what I’m looking out for.”
She said youths had been caught throwing things at the windows of the building when he was first released.
“That was something to do with him but it (the murders) was a long time ago. He’s an old man now.”
One resident was resigned to the fact that McCulloch may now have joined the community.
“What can you do about it?” he said. “The guy’s got to get out sometime.”
Other neighbours who are friendly with Ms Perrie did not wish to comment. McCulloch’s release on Tuesday ended 43 years behind bars. He was first admitted to Carstairs after he tried to kill a chef and hotel manageress in a row over a sandwich.
When he and Mone broke out of the secure unit, they slaughtered hospital worker Neil McLellan and patient Iain Simpson before going on to kill PC George Taylor.
McCulloch was released from Castle Huntly early on Tuesday morning and Ms Perrie was seen going in and out of her building throughout the day before his arrival.
