Four men jailed for Maryhill dad's murder

Four men have been jailed for life for the murder of a man who was shot in the head as he sat in a car at traffic lights in Glasgow.

29 year old Kenny Reilly was shot in Maryhill back in April 2018, and died two days later.

John Kennedy, Darren Eadie, Morton Eadie and Ross Fisher have been found guilty of killing him and of attempting to defeat the ends of justice.

The court heard one man coordinated the killing, another sourced the stolen car used, another was behind the wheel and one pulled the trigger.

A Procurator Fiscal called it a brazen, calculated murder in a public place.

Detective Superintendent Stevie Wallace said: “This was a long, complex and challenging investigation and a team of dedicated officers and staff have worked tirelessly, to ensure that justice was found in this case.

“It really does show that no matter the length of time, if you commit a crime, you will be caught and you will be brought to justice.

“Kenny Reilly left behind a family who has sought answers on how and why their loved one was killed. Although he cannot be brought back, I hope this result will bring some comfort to his family and friends.”

David Green, Procurator Fiscal for Homicide and Major Crime, said: "This was a brazen, calculated murder in a public place that not only took the life of Kenny Reilly but showed a complete disregard for the safety of others.

"These four men took steps to try and conceal their actions, but thanks to diligent work by investigators and prosecutors, they have been brought to justice. This verdict and sentence mark the end of a long and complex investigation.

"Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Mr Reilly at what must be a distressing time for them."
