Poor b*stard if his defence was true..

Solicitor Kevin Hampton told the court Dunnigan had bought the axe earlier that day to sort out nails in the floorboards of his new flat.

He said: “He bought the item at 1.30pm from Wickes.
“He had been sold it in a carrier bag which burst so he then put the axe into his trousers so not to alarm anyone.
“He accepts he should not have gone into Asda with it.”
The court heard Dunnigan has several previous convictions for carrying a bladed item.
Dunnigan admitted that on March 31 at Asda, Milton of Craigie, he had an axe, while on bail. He was jailed for four months.

TWO bendy buses were stuck together on an Aberdeen street today.

The incident is believed to have happened at around 11.45am on Holburn Street, near the Broomhill roundabout, and also involved a lorry.
An employee at Kim Dalglish Florists saw the incident.
She said: “I was forced to move my van to allow police into the incident.
One of the buses was stuck in a sort of zigzagged pattern.
Everyone has come into the florist to ask what had happened.
Sounds like a traumatic day for the employee at the florists.

I don't think it was the white pudding that sent him down.

"He also admitted punching her in the face and body, wrestling her to the ground and kicking her on her body to her injury."

One from here in Mackay...

'I was bashed with a dildo by man in leather mask'

AN Andergrove mother was bludgeoned with a rubber dildo wrapped in duct tape by a home invader who also killed her little pet dog by strapping it up to a palm tree in a public park, a court heard yesterday.

The alleged attacker wore a leather mask and his attack was premeditated and particularly violent, police said.

The Daily Mercury spoke with the 49-year-old victim about her ordeal yesterday and has decided not to identify her.

She was bruised and distressed and was upset by the death of her pet dog named Apso, a friendly little 15-month-old dog that may have bitten his attacker before he was killed.

In another bizarre twist to the shocking case, blood in Apso's mouth will be DNA tested to see if it belongs to the man who allegedly killed him.

Shaun Michael Burke, 38, appeared in the Magistrate's Court yesterday charged with burglary, armed robbery and wilfully and unlawfully killing a dog at night.

Prosecutor Sergeant Sabine Scott said it will alleged that a woman, 49, and her son, 19, were at home when a woman came to the front door about 3am on Monday and distracted them while Burke allegedly broke in.

The son was chased through the house, into the back yard and, fearing for his life, he jumped over a fence to escape.

The woman was hit with a dildo which “appeared to be wrapped in such a way with duct tape to make it a better bludgeoning weapon”, Sgt Scott said.

The female victim eventually fled on foot.

Sgt Scott said the dog was taken to a nearby public park where it was taped with duct tape by the head and chest to a palm tree and died of asphyxia.

Investigating officers recovered the dog's body, found a leather mask and duct tape in a vehicle and more duct tape in Burke's pocket.

“He had cuts on his arms which could have been caused by a dog bite,” Sgt Scott said.

“Blood in the dog's mouth will be tested to see if it is his.”

Duty solicitor David Strutynski applied for bail for Burke and said: “I'm guessing there is a lot behind this matter which needs to be sorted out.”

Burke had been living with a housemate who “got in his ear and he snapped”, Mr Strutynski said.

“He saw a GP at Slade Point last Friday and was to see a Mental Health officer on Monday afternoon and ATODS (Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs Service) on Tuesday but these events have intervened.”

Burke had alcohol and mental health issues and would get better treatment if granted bail, Mr Strutynski said.

Magistrate Ross Risson remanded Burke in custody overnight and will consider the bail application today.

A woman, 21, who was allegedly involved in the incidents, has been granted watch-house bail to appear in court on January 29.

Front page news in Lochgilphead this week are the raids carried out across Mid Argyll on seven Indian takeaways, leading to 15 'illegals' from Bangladesh being detained by immigration authorities ahead of their deportation. All three Indian takeaways in the Lochgilphead / Ardrishaig area were hit, as well as those in Tarbert, Inveraray and the two on Islay. With a fine of up to £10,000 per illegal worker pending, I can't see a happy ending. Never made it to the one in Inveraray but they have, it seemed, closed down after 3 men were carted off.

One of the Lochgilphead ones had a note in the window stating that for 'some reasons' they'd be shut until Tuesday... Which Tuesday remains to be seen.

Dundee takes another step towards turning into Springfield.

Firefighters battle tyre blaze near Whitfield

Firefighters are battling a blaze between Douglas and Whitfield after tyres were set alight.

Two appliances from the Kingsway are using jets to attempt to extinguish the inferno, which was started near Piper Street close to the council's Baldovie recycling site.

The burning pile of rubber was reported to firefighters at around 8.35pm and has sent a plume of thick black smoke high into the air.
