A violent thug used his Young Scot card to purchase a 40-centimetre long machete which was used to inflict horrific injuries on a man, a court has heard.
Lee Mullen, 25, produced the national entitlement pass for ID when he bought the weapon hours before using it on Scott Napier at a house in Cullen Drive, Glenrothes, Fife, on July 26 2021.
The High Court in Edinburgh heard how Mullen’s accomplice Josh King, 18, blamed Mr Napier for breaking into his sister’s house. But judge Lord Tyre heard that Mr Napier did nothing wrong and the attack was unprovoked.
