Oct 16, 2007Quickie Link: Three Plead Guilty Over Murder of Gay Man in UK
By vanrozenheim
(UK) - Three men have admitted killing James Kerr, 51, in the South Inch park in April. All three, who were originally charged with murder, will be sentenced at the High Court in Perth today. The local authority worker had been out in the park late at night in an area known to be frequented by Gays. He entered into a conversation with a teenager, who was unknown to him. A short time afterwards the teenager phoned his two co-accused, who arrived just minutes later. Meehan and Soutar, both of Perth, then hunted down Mr Kerr and subjected him to an attack that left him in a pool of blood. Although he was still alive on arrival at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee, Mr Kerr, also of Perth, died that day.
