This one is an improvement on 18 months, but then it's not in Scotland.
"Gay bashing" killer gets life
Quote:
A KILLER was today jailed for life after admitting the murder of a Blackpool man at a well-known gay cruising spot.
Marc Goodwin must serve a minimum of 18 years behind bars for the unprovoked attack on "vulnerable victim" Malcolm Benfold.
The 57-year-old was beaten to death on January 30 at Middle Walk, off Blackpool Promenade.
...
A judge at Preston Crown Court ruled Goodwin... had gone "too far" in his attack on Mr Benfold.
