Glasgow pub killer found guilty after re-trial
A man has been convicted of murder for a second time over a fatal stabbing at a pub in Glasgow.
David Shepherd, 32, attacked 47-year-old James Hawthorn in the Gantry Bar, Shettleston, in October 2007.
His original life sentence, imposed in July 2008, was quashed after a judge wrongly directed a jury to ignore defence claims of provocation.
A jury found him guilty of murdering Mr Hawthorn after a re-trial at the High Court in Glasgow.
Shepherd was originally jailed for a minimum of 15 years after the first trial at the same court.
He could now face a longer minimum term due to a recent recommendation by senior judges that knife murderers be locked up for at least 16 years.
Judge Mark Stewart QC will pass sentence when Shepherd returns to court next month.
