Murderer 'couldn't remember' killing Scot at party due to taking drugs and booze

A murderer told police he couldn't remember killing an Aberdeen man at a party as his head was "f***ed" from taking alcohol and drugs. Sean O'Halloran, 20, made the admission to detectives after being arrested for killing Scott Hector at a house on Marischal Court on April 2, 2021.

The High Court in Edinburgh heard how O'Halloran and Conor Adams, 18, went to the property with friend Carly Cairns. The trio were attending a get-together thrown by the householder, Rhiann Parks. The duo had gone there in an attempt to obtain drugs from Mr Hector, the court was told.

But upon arriving at the address, O'Halloran stabbed Mr Hector on the body once and stole narcotics belonging to the dead man. Judge Lord Armstrong heard how detectives interviewed O'Halloran later on April 2, 2021 and he told them he couldn't remember.
