A court heard a convicted killer was “jovial” with police officers just hours after he committed a “motiveless” murder on a Paisley dad in his own home. Andrew McLeod was locked up for a minimum of 20 years in January after being found guilty at the High Court in Glasgow of the murder of John Dalziel in May 2021.
Yesterday, Paisley Sheriff Court heard how McLeod, 58, was at Mill Street police station as a witness only hours after the murder where he was “jovial” with cops before he turned abusive towards them.
Procurator fiscal depute Carly McLeod explained: “Around 2am on May 7, the accused was with police officers in the police station as he was a witness in an earlier incident. He was quite jovial throughout the evening with officers. It was at this time he became irate and began to shout and swear at police officers.
