A killer who murdered his brother and severely injured a Fife woman in a New Year fire has appealed against his jail sentence.
Blair Logan was given a life sentence with a minimum jail term of 20 years before he can be considered for parole when he was sentenced at the High Court.
The 27-year-old had admitted murdering his brother Cameron, who was 23, and attempting to murder Cameron’s 25-year-old radio broadcaster girlfriend Rebecca Williams, from Wormit.
The conviction followed a fire at the Logans’ family home in Milngavie.
The incident took place in the early hours of New Year’s Day.
Blair Logan said he doused his sibling in petrol and set him alight but did not mean to kill him.
The High Court was told that the brothers had a “hostile” relationship and had not spoken to each other since 2013.
In a letter read to the court, his parents said they found it “extremely difficult to reconcile the Blair that they know with the Blair that caused Cameron’s death”.
Both parents were in the courtroom in Edinburgh, along with Ms Williams and her family, as the sentence was passed by Lady Scott.
She said “At the time Miss Williams was employed in her dream job in radio broadcasting – you have robbed her of her voice and her career, of her future with Cameron and of her confidence and sense of self-worth. She remains disfigured, impaired and in pain,”
