Three men who carried out a savage murder bid in a city centre which left the victim with life-changing injuries were jailed for a total of more than 18 years on Tuesday.
Kieran Maule ,24, Dylan Patrick ,22, and Aaron Henderson ,20, were captured on camera launching the brutal attack on John Foster at Hunter Square, in Edinburgh, just off the city's Royal Mile.
A judge told the trio: "As a pack, as Crown counsel put matters to the jury, you spontaneously engaged in a concerted and murderous attack on your victim."
