A man who killed a woman over claims his watch had been stolen has been jailed for six years.

Tony Grimes, 43, had been involved in an altercation with Patricia Irvine outside her home in Parkhead, Glasgow, on 12 May 2024.

Jurors heard Grimes had blamed Irvine's son Jordan Wilson, 25, for the timepiece going missing.

He struck Irvine, 53, on the body and caused her to fall to the ground. She suffered a fatal aneurysm following the incident and died in hospital two days later.

Having been convicted of the culpable homicide of Irvine, Grimes was sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow by Lord Mulholland.

The judge said the death occurred after the serial criminal carried out a campaign of intimidation against the family.

Lord Mulholland added: "Your conduct towards her caused a latent aneurysm to rupture, with the bleed causing her death two days later.

"You have left her son and husband bereft at her loss. I have read the victim impact statements which are heartbreaking.

"You will need to live with the shame of that for the rest of your life."

The court heard how Grimes and Jordan Wilson knew each other.

The killer accused the young man of taking a watch from him.

Wilson strenuously denied this, but jurors heard how Grimes went on to target both Wilson and his family, with threats on social media and also him coming to their door.

In a police interview, Wilson said he was left frightened and intimidated, and left too scared to walk the streets.

He recalled one occasion in his close where Grimes grabbed him and displayed "superhuman strength" while gnawing at Wilson's ears.

Jurors also seen CCTV footage of Grimes attacking the man in an east end shop.

Grimes pled guilty to this charge.

In court, the Wilson said: "He was trying to uppercut me. He was just threatening me, telling me not to go to the police or I would get it basically."

Recalling the night of the fatal incident, Wilson and his mum had been outside their home when a drinks can was hurled at them and exploded.

Grimes, of the city's Tollcross, was said to have made a threat to "petrol bomb" the property.

Wilson went back inside and an altercation between Grimes and Irvine broke out.

Irvine fell to the ground, hit her head and died in Glasgow Royal Infirmary on 14 May 2024.

In cross-examination, Wilson had refuted a suggestion by Brian McConnachie KC, defending, that it was him and his mum who sparked the confrontation that evening.

He also insisted Irvine did not punch the thug.

After the verdict, it emerged Grimes had a lengthy list of convictions including for weapons, police assault, religiously aggravated breach of the peace and other violence.

Defence advocate McConnachie said: "He constantly considers that he has been involved in a situation where a lady lost her life."

Grimes is banned from approaching or contacting Wilson for an indefinite period.
