THE Lockerbie bomber's family home on the outskirts of Glasgow may be sold.
Workmen are refurbishing the £500,000 property in Newton Mearns, amid speculation the house will be put on the market.
Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi's wife Aisha and children have returned to Libya while the work is done.
The four-bedroom home was bought by a charity headed by Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi's son to give the family a Scottish base after Megrahi was sentenced in 2001.
The couple have five children - Ghada, 25, Khalid, 22, Mohamed, 16, Ali, 14 and Motasem, 11.
Megrahi is serving a minimum 27-year life sentence for killing 270 people when PanAm flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie in 1988.
He is in Greenock prison and is waiting for a second appeal hearing against his conviction.
An earlier appeal against his conviction was rejected but his lawyers have submitted new evidence they say proves his innocence.
Megrahi, who has cancer, had an application for bail, pending the outcome of the appeal, turned down last year.
