Carri Stewart, 44, new partner Brian Millar, 29, along with Barry Murray, 45, and Scott Henderson, 40, killed Steven Hutton after bursting into his home in Dundee in March 2024.

The 43 year-old was subjected to what prosecutors described as a “punishment beating”, being smacked with a hammer before being stabbed in the heart.

Steven was blamed for allegedly stealing from Stewart's city flat, including taking medication and a treasured St Christopher's necklace.

He never recovered from his injuries and died the next day in hospital.

All four admitted being at his home but denied murder.

They were yesterday convicted after a trial at Glasgow High Court.
