A POSTMAN is facing a jail sentence after stashing thousands of letters and parcels in his attic.
Gary Kinghorn, 46, claimed the job had become too much for him after his brother was charged with murder.
Kinghorn, of Bonnyrigg, was employed by Royal Mail to make deliveries in Musselburgh, East Lothian. But instead of doing his rounds, Kinghorn concealed 2500 pieces of mail in his car and attic. He was sacked in August of this year.
