A murder bid thug who cut off part of his friend's ear and scratched his name on the victim's chest has been jailed for seven and a half years. Thomas Fullerton, 29, left Liam Day in a pool of blood after turning on him at his home in Drumchapel, Glasgow, last April 30.
After police were called by worried neighbours, Fullerton asked officers: "Is he dead? At least tell me if he is dead." Mr Day luckily survived, but remains badly affected by his horror ordeal.
Fullerton returned to the High Court in Glasgow on Wednesday having pled guilty in March to an attempted murder charge. Lord Matthews said the jail-term would have been 10 years, but for the guilty plea.
