Pair jailed for killing man after row over wet paint

Two men who killed a delivery driver after a row over wet paint have been jailed for a total of more than 11 years.

One of the killers, Steven Archibald, was still complaining about paint damage to his jacket when police detained him after the fatal attack on former soldier John Auld.

Archibald and his accomplice Michael Sutherland ended up with staining on their clothing after turning up at a newly painted food takeaway, despite warning signs being in place.
