Soldier given 27 months for brutal assaults

A soldier suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder has been jailed for 27 months after carrying out two serious assaults.

A judge told Ross Stewart that both of the attacks he perpetrated had "very serious consequences" for the victims.

Lord Turnbull told Stewart, 21, at the High Court in Edinburgh: "You have served your country well as a soldier."
