A man facing extradition to the US in connection with a historical rape case has claimed he was tattooed while unconscious
At Tuesday's hearing the man claiming to be Arthur Knight, said that he was in a coma for 18 days before his arrest in Scotland, during which time he was tattooed.
Earlier evidence was heard from charge nurse Ruth Keating, 58, who cared for the man whom she knew as Arthur Knight while he was in hospital.Addressing one particular photo on the Interpol red notice of Rossi, which showed a tattoo of a red cross above an angel wing, Ms Keating said:"That looks like the tattoo I saw on Arthur Knight.
Addressing the images of the tattoos shown before the court, the man said:"They were put there to make it look like I am this Nicholas Rossi. The man said in his"waking moments" he recalled there being"many, many people on the ward" and started to talk about apparent water contamination issues in the building before the sheriff asked him to stop drifting off topic.
