Detective Inspector Alan McAlpine said: “We welcome this conviction today. It is very unusual for someone to be convicted in these circumstances and therefore this has been a complex investigation.
“David Black endured a brutal and violent attack, which led to him requiring around the clock care, and in the end resulted in his death.
“We hope that this result will be of some comfort to David’s family and friends, who have also suffered at the hands of Bell’s actions.”
