John Leslie's brother Grant Stott raged at burglars who killed their parents' goldfish by pouring vodka into its tank and leaving a hairdryer on top
The parents of John Leslie were heartbroken after their burglars raided their house and killed their goldfish by drowning it in vodka.
His brother radio DJ Grant slammed the cruel thieves on a Facebook rant.
He told how their parents Alexia and Leslie, returned to their Edinburgh home after a holiday to find the place ransacked.
Our sister paper the Daily Record reports that the thieves, who stole various items from the house, poured vodka into a fish tank and killed the pets.
They also smashed eggs all over the kitchen, smashed the heating thermostat and left a hair dryer on in an attempt to set a fire.
Grant, whose brother John Leslie was a Blue Peter presenter wrote: "I know bad things happen but sometimes it just beggars belief. Mum and dad got home yesterday from a couple of days away to find they'd been broken into.
"Place trashed, ransacked and various bits and bobs gone. Damage is fixable but it's the psychological impact on them that concerns me most."
The veteran panto star added: "Eggs smashed all over the kitchen, vodka poured into their fish tank (wtf?) killing their pet fish, left the hairdryer on in what can only be seen as an attempt to start a fire - thankfully it didn't."
Grant said the family are trying to remain upbeat and positive but warned: "Whoever these little scrotes were I believe in karma and I very much believe that one day you will get yours."
Police Scotland are investigating the burglary.
