Andrew McLeod, 58, will spend at least 20 years behind bars
A vicious killer who stabbed a dad in the neck with a broken piece of crockery has been sentenced to life in jail. for the "needless" slaying of dad John Dalziel, 47, on May 6, 2021.
He attempted to stab his victim with the dish multiple times and struck him on the head, causing blunt force trauma. The dad was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow with serious injuries, but tragically died a short time later. A jury found him guilty of murder on Thursday, and were then told the 58-year-old has a number of previous convictions, including one for culpable homicide for which he was sentenced in 2005. Sentencing McLeod, Lord Arthurson condemned McLeod's "ferocious and wholly murderous" crime, which has left Dalziel's young daughter fatherless.
"I also note from your record that you have been convicted previously in this court for a crime involving the taking of a person’s life. I consider there to be no discernible mitigating features in respect of you."
