Kevin Geoghegan, 46, pounced on Peter Kirkwood, 24, in Lanark, South Lanarkshire, on July 16 2022. Geoghegan had earlier barged into Kirkwood and his group of friends as they left a nearby pub.
A murderer who stabbed a man to death and got rid of his clothes in a river was given a life sentence today.

The knife entered his chest cavity, went through his lung, penetrating the heart, damaging an artery which gave rise to his death afterwards.
Geoghegan had been at a friend's house drinking and walked on a route which would take him to his mother's home. Jurors watched CCTV of agitated Geoghegan shouting at passing cars and arguing with taxi driver John Skeoch. Prosecutor Erin Campbell asked Geoghegan if he was goading the group and he replied: "I suppose so." Geoghegan carried on walking down the road which Miss Campbell suggested was him "waiting" on the group.
