A man has been jailed after being convicted of killing a grandfather by pushing him down a flight of stairs at a busy train station
.
On Wednesday, judge Fiona Tait remanded McKinlay in custody ahead of his sentencing hearing next month. She said: "My dad for those who didn’t know him was the life and soul of the party, the man who would help others when no one else would, a man who would never be at home for too long....because life was for the living.
He said he saw Mr Maguire fall backwards and that he landed on his back and “bashed his head”. He then said he saw Mr McKinlay strike Brian. She told Mr McLean: “I remember feeling quite frightened. He was carrying some beers. I thought he was drunk. He was swearing. He was saying ‘oh for f**k’s sake, he’s a f*****g a******e’. I backed away as he swayed onto the platform.”
Travel agency worker Connie Dalrymple, 29, told Mr McLean that she saw a “bit of a fight” involving the three men. She said she had been returning from a night out with her boyfriend when she saw the altercation just before 10pm.
