A man who beat a stroke sufferer to death after befriending him during Scotland’s first Covid lockdown was today caged for 10 years and told he would be supervised for three years following his release from prison.
William Collins admitted leaving William McCallum with 66 injuries – including a fresh brain haemorrhage, broken ribs and multiple bruises – after attacking him in his home.
The 40-year-old, from Falkirk, had befriended McCallum at the pharmacy which Collins himself attended three times a week to collect medication for his heroin addiction.
