Darrin Callander attacked Brian Scott, who had health issues, in his own home in 2013.
Darrin Callander was handed a life sentence after he punched, kicked and stamped on Brian Scott, 54, and left him to die at a property at Gilbert Circle in Dumfries in April 2013. The victim suffered a catalogue of injuries, including smashed ribs, a ruptured spleen, fractured vertebrae and brain damage.The Procurator Fiscal, Les Brown, announced this week that a Fatal Accident Inquiry will be carried out into the death.
Mr Burgess later told cops that the victim, who was of poor health and used a walking stick, had “no chance” as Callander launched a brutal attack which lasted five minutes, ignoring pleas from the witness to stop. Lord Burns initially fixed Callander’s minimum sentence at nine years and nine months but it was extended after an appeal.
