- GRANT MCCABE

A KILLER who shot a man with a paintball gun during a murder was given a life sentence yesterday.

Mark Allison, 46, attacked Robbie Yuill at a property in Smyllum Road in Lanark in December 2023.

The 32-year-old was later found unconscious and did not survive after being fatally stabbed.

At the High Court in Glasgow, Allison denied murdering the man. He had initially pinned the blame on another man - then claimed he had been acting in self-defence.
