Two men have been given life sentences for drugging, raping and murdering a young dad in Fife just hours after meeting him.

Dylan Brister, 27, and Cameron Allan, 20, killed Calum Simpson, 24, in Methil in November 2021 and recorded some of the attack on a phone.

His body was found within a property on Herriot Crescent.

At the High Court in Dundee on Friday, Brister was ordered to serve at least 23 years while Allan is being locked up for a minimum of 19 years.

Both their names have been added to sex offenders register for an indefinite period.

Moira Orr, who leads on homicide and major crime for the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service , said: “The depraved and predatory actions of Dylan Brister and Cameron Allan have robbed a family of their loving son, father, partner, nephew and grandson.

“They showed a blatant disregard for their victim’s safety and life by spiking his drink with drugs before subjecting him to the most harrowing sexual abuse.

“We have worked hard to deliver justice for Calum Simpson and his family, who continue to deal with the devastation and trauma of losing their loved one.

“The COPFS team used every tool at our disposal to ensure these two men faced the consequences of their despicable actions.

“Our thoughts remain with Calum’s family and friends.”
