Reece Sweeney, 24, was serving life in jail for stabbing Jamie McGready at a flat in Govan, Glasgow, in August 2020.

Reece Sweeney was on bail when he stabbed dad-to-be Jamie McGready at a flat in Govan, Glasgow, in August 2020.Sweeney had denied killing the 33-year-old, whose partner was pregnant at the time, but was convicted by a jury last year.

At the High Court in Edinburgh, he was sentenced to life and a minimum of 16 years behind bars before being eligible for parole.A witness told the trial how Sweeney and Jamie had rowed “about cans of beer or something” before the killer lunged at his victim.PC Gary Hutchison told how he found Jamie lying amid “pools of blood” and performed CPR on the victim, but he could not be saved.
