A thug who brutally battered a disabled man to death with a hammer has been given a life sentence
Stephen Thomson will spend a minimum of 20 years in prison for murdering Peter Morgan, 60, in his flat in Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, on November 19, 2021. One of Mr Morgan's fatal skull fractures was inflicted with such severe force that it resembled the type of traumatic injury normally seen after a car accident or a fall from great height.
“There were a number of aggravating factors to this murder, most significantly that Mr Morgan was an exceptionally vulnerable man who used a wheelchair for mobility and had difficulties with alcohol. The attack took place in his own home where he had an expectation of being safe. He said he did not underestimate the accused’s difficult start in life but told him he had repeatedly failed to take advantage of opportunities offered to him to help him lead a more responsible life. If there’s a message in that report it’s that you take little responsibility for your actions and still lack insight into the harm you have caused others.
