Police are on the hunt for a killer after she dodged court over a dispute in the same town where she took her victim’s life.
Karen Duncan, 28, was jailed for seven years over her role in the 2007 murder of Scott Burgess at his flat in Paisley, near Glasgow.
Duncan, then just 17, stabbed Mr Burgess, 24, twice with a screwdriver in
Stephen Price, who pleaded guilty to murder over the killing, posed next to Scott Burgess’ body with the knife he used to kill him, while Karen’s sister Irene, 29, took photographs.
Karen pleaded guilty to culpable homicide. She was jailed for seven years and one month at the High Court in Glasgow in March 2008.
Once back on the streets of Paisley, she went on to have a scuffle with a woman at a property in the town’s Bank Street – the street where she now lives.

Duncan previously pleaded guilty to a charge of breaking Section 38(1) of the Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010 and was due to return to the dock on Friday to learn her fate.
But when she did not appear for sentencing, Sheriff Frances McCartney granted a warrant for her arrest for failing to appear at court – meaning police officers are now on the hunt for Karen, who could be jailed over the offence when she is caught and brought back to court for sentencing.
She was sentenced to a total of 85 months behind bars and told she would be supervised for three years once released from custody over Mr Burgess’ killing.
There was no motive for the crime other than Price believing Mr Burgess had made derogatory remarks about his friends.
