A knife attacker who murdered a father-of-three in a brutal street attack after stabbing him in the neck was jailed for life today.
Ryan McCabe was ordered on Monday to serve a minimum of 17 years in prison after killing Liam Maloney, 30, in the fatal assault in the Niddrie area of Edinburgh.
A judge told McCabe, 49, at the High Court in Edinburgh: "The murder involved two blows with a knife, one fatal, the knife being a weapon you brought to the locus."
Lord Scott said he had received victim impact statements from the mother, father and sister of the deceased. He said the crime had led to the "devastating loss of a much loved father, son,brother, grandson, nephew and friend to many".
The judge said: "The victim impact statements have particularly assisted me in understanding the loss to the family including, perhaps most significantly, his three young sons."
Lord Scott said that during McCabe's earlier trial he appeared to have sought to blacken the character of the victim in a bid to excuse his own behaviour.
He told McCabe that the 17-year term imposed on him was the minimum period he must serve before he can be considered for release, but any future decision over his release would be taken by parole authorities who take into account the risk he posed at the time.
The court heard that McCabe was previously convicted of a serious attack with a weapon in 2020.
He had denied murdering Mr Maloney during the attack on him on May 5 last year at the junction of Niddrie Marischal Grove and Niddrie Marischal Road, but was found guilty by a jury.
Mr Maloney later died at St John's Hospital in Livingston, in West Lothian, after contracting a thrombosis following emergency surgery on him.
