Oct 10 2011

TWO men have admitted killing Blantyre student Reamonn Gormley.

Daryn Maxwell and Barry Smith, both from Blantyre, were involved in the death of the 19-year-old, who was stabbed in a botched robbery as he walked home from a pub with a pal. Reamonn died at Hairmyres Hospital shortly after the attack.

Maxwell admitted murdering the teenager, while co-accused Barry Smith pleaded guilty to culpable homicide.

The High Court in Glasgow heard both men were on bail when they killed Mr Gormley on February 1.
