A man who killed a ‘loving’ grandfather by pushing him down a flight of stairs at a busy train station has been jailed for six years.
The story emerged last month after McKinlay, of Cowdenbeath, Fife, was found guilty at the end of four day trial of culpable homicide. McKinlay had also pleaded guilty to assaulting Brian to his “severe injury” at the start of proceedings on Friday. Mr Maguire died from his injuries at the Western General Hospital in Edinburgh on March 4, 2020. The Scottish Sun last year reported that Mr Maguire’s daughter Lynsey wrote a tribute to her father. She said: "My dad for those who didn’t know him was the life and soul of the party, the man who would help others when no one else would, a man who would never be at home for too long....because life was for the living.
Eyewitnesses told the court that that Mr Maguire and his son came into contact with McKinlay, who was also there to catch a train. One witness said she thought McKinlay was drunk. Ms McCulloch also told the court about McKinlay’s attitude when police officers told him to get off the train. She said she sat close by as he spoke to police officers. She added: “He said ‘for f**k’s sake here we go’. He was huffing and puffing. He was a bit reluctant to get off the train.
