A thug who battered a man who had thrown him out of his Tillicoultry flat on a New Year’s Day morning has dodged a jail sentence.
Connor Rennie left victim Aaron Wood with a broken nose, two fractured ribs, a collapsed lung, and numerous cuts and bruises.
A court heard 23-year-old Rennie and Mr Wood, a cousin of Rennie’s girlfriend, had been seeing in the 2020 new year with “no issues” at a pub in Tillicoultry and at a house party with “no issues”, but then moved on to Mr Wood’s home in Cairnton Place, Tillicoultry.
