A teenager who fatally stabbed another young man in Kilwinning has been jailed for five years.
Steven Gilmour, now 18, attacked 19 year old Daryll Wright - of Coatbridge - during a row at a house in the town in May 2021.
Gilmour has pleaded guilty to culpable homicide at the High Court in Glasgow.
Detective Inspector Stephen McCulloch, of Saltcoats CID, says:
“Our thoughts are very much with Darryl’s family and friends at what is an extremely difficult time."
"Although today’s conviction cannot change what happened I hope it brings some degree of closure."
“This was an unprovoked attack on a young man who had his whole life ahead of him."
"Violence like this has no place in our communities and I want to reassure people that Police Scotland is determined to bring those responsible for this kind of crime to justice.”
