Man jailed for life after carrying out 'despicable' murder at Edinburgh property
A 45-year-old man has been sentenced to life imprisonment after being found guilty of murdering a man in Edinburgh.
Paul Menzies will serve a minimum term of 18 years behind bars for killing Brian Ramsay, 53, in June 2024.
Menzies was sentenced on Wednesday, January 14 following a trial at Edinburgh High Court.
Officers were called to Westfield Road at around 12.55pm on Friday, June 7, 2024, following concern for a man within a property. Mr Ramsay was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detective Chief Inspector David McAlinden said: “This was a violent attack that cost Brian Ramsay his life, and Menzies will now face the consequences of his despicable actions. While this conviction cannot change what has happened, I hope it gives Brian’s family and friends some closure.
“I want to reassure the public that violent incidents such as this will not be tolerated in our communities, and our officers will continue to work tirelessly to bring those responsible to justice.”
