Daniel Gauld repeatedly punched, kicked and battered Douglas Struthers with a metal pole during the fatal assault and shouted 'die,die,die'
A brutal killer who murdered a disabled man in his home as a woman tried to shield the victim from continuing blows was jailed for life today.
A judge told Gauld: "You carried out a vicious, prolonged and savage attack on Douglas Struthers within his home." Lord Fairley said the assault was of such severity that two of the victim's teeth ended up inside his lungs. Miss Grigg said of the victim: "He had problems with his legs. I can't remember what he had. He had a mobility scooter in his garden." She said Gauld became aggressive and challenged the seated older man to "a square go" before punching him in the face.
