The lying monster even put down his unsuspecting mum’s name as one of the people on a committee he claimed were backing him.

Hamilton was desperate to get council permission to hire halls for his boys’ clubs, Lord Cullen heard yesterday.

His network of clubs was in danger of collapsing when concerned Central Region put pressure on him.

To give himself credence, the killer created the Boys Sports Clubs Group Committee in 1989, as parents were voicing concerns he was a pervert.

Minutes of an annual general meeting supposedly attended by him and seven members were sent to the council in 1993.

Hamilton claimed his mother, Agnes Watt, 64, was there, along with the other people he had befriended over 20 years.

But police probes after the Dunblane tragedy discovered the AGM was fictitious, with none of the seven members attending. Agnes didn’t even know his clubs existed.

Day 17 of the Cullen Inquiry heard that Hamilton ran clubs in Dunblane, Bannockburn, Dunfermline, Falkirk, Linlithgow, Alva, Stirling, Alloa, Denny, Balfron, Callander and Bishopbriggs.

His first club was Dunblane Rovers in 1981.

Irate parents complained about almost every organisation he ran after discovering he’d taken photos of their sons in swimming trunks.

Hamilton had to disband many of his clubs after parents kept their children away.

But the psycho was still running clubs in Dunblane, Falkirk, Bannockburn and Bishopbriggs when the massacre happened.

Hamilton also had inadequate and out-of-date insurance for the boys in his charge.
