A killer brutally murdered a man at his home after he had been out watching Rangers Europa League Final defeat.
Richard Wotherspoon, 33, repeatedly stabbed Samuel Hamilton whose 82 year-old mum Bridget then battled in vain to save her son's life. The 56 year-old - known as Sammy - never survived having been knifed in the neck - as CCTV captured Wotherspoon fleeing the scene of the attack in Bellshill, Lanarkshire on May 18 2022.
But, the thug was later held and today pled guilty to a murder charge at the High Court in Glasgow. It emerged he already had a lengthy criminal past including a rape conviction in 2006.
