A killer who murdered his ex-lover's mother has been jailed for a minimum 19 years. Michael Dorey was today handed a life sentence at the High Court in Glasgow.
He pled guilty last week to leaving Jacqueline Grant, 54, with at least 34 knife wounds during an attack at her home in the city's Maryhill on April 6 2021.
The 48 year-old insisted he could not remember carrying out the killing. Sentencing, Lord Arthurson told him: "The crime can properly be categorised as a sustained and murderous attack upon a vulnerable lady in her own home. The attack, although unplanned, was brutal and ferocious in both its savagery and scale."
