Anthony Miller (murderer)

Anthony Miller (murderer)

Anthony Joseph Miller became the second-last criminal to be executed in Scotland on December 22, 1960 when he was hanged at Glasgow's Barlinnie Prison by Robert Leslie Stewart for the murder of John Cremin on Queen's Park Recreation Ground (near Hampden Park) in Glasgow on April 6, 1960. At 19 years of age, he was also the last teenager to be executed in the United Kingdom.

James Denovan - Miller's accomplice - was sentenced to be detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure. As a 16-year-old, he was too young to face the death penalty.

Miller's execution was the last to take place at Barlinnie.
