## Legacy

Lachlan came from a rich family as a result Lachlan was spoilt and didn't need to worry to much about his actions throughout his childhood as he was often protected by both his mother, Chrissie and grandfather, Lawrence.

The more he was around it was evident Lachlan became more disturbed as an individual. Lachlan's first misdeed was a very big one when he sexually assaulted a sleeping Alicia Galleger. However Lachlan only got put on the sex offenders list. An even bigger deal although Lachlan did face some consequence for this action. Was when Lachlan accidentally shot his grandfather Lawrence. However Lachlan would return after a few weeks in young offenders. He even spied on his future girlfriend, Belle Dingle through a peep hole.

Lachlan had many clashes with the residents of the Dales with Robert Sugden, Aaron Dingle, David Metcalfe, Jacob Gallagher and Rakesh Kotecha all clashing with Lachlan throughout his time however Robert was the main person Lachlan despised the most.

In January 2018. Something in Lachlan's mind switched. As a result, Lachlan caused a car crash which killed both his mother Chrissie and grandfather Lawrence. Little did we know this was the start of Lachlan's killing spree! - during this time Lachlan is deep in love with Belle as their relationship seems strong however Lachlan's demons were apparent, his next victim would be his very own friend in Gerry Roberts after Gerry found out the truth about the car crash. Lachlan wasn't done there though as he went onto murder conman, Paul Tozer.

Fans kept calling for Lachlan to face upto what his done and after nine months of his crimes building, he was eventually caught after kidnapping his aunt, Rebecca White and after kidnapping Belle too. Lachlan was sentenced to life imprisonment for four murders! He made brief appearances in January 2019 but was last seen coming to terms with the fact his going to likely spend the rest if his life in prison.
