Ian MacLeod, 66, and his son Dean, 42, were caged on Monday for the brutal murders of two men.
A blowtorch killer behind the notorious murders of two men at an Edinburgh flat is said to have been an '80s gang leader' and the inspiration behind Transpotting's Begbie.
Speaking during sentencing, Judge Lord Arthurson said: "This is, on any view, one of the worst cases of murder to come before the High Court." Our sister title, the Scottish Daily Express, reports that there was no real motive for the sadistic killings given in court. In Scotland, youth gangs are still often referred to as 'young teams' although the once rampant knife crime fuelled by gang rivalry has been drastically reduced in recent years thanks to initiatives such as the Violence Reduction Unit.
Begbie, who appears in several Welsh novels and short stories, is described as a leading member of the Young Leith Team, with the author previously saying that he is based on four or five people he knew growing up and as a young man. In 2005, Scottish crime writer Reg McKay wrote in the Record about 'Bronco' MacLeod's fearsome reputation.
