A MAN who wolf whistled at two girls was shot in the head with a sawn-off shotgun.

Craig McGhee, 24, died instantly in the street outside his aunt's home in Shettleston, Glasgow, after being shot from just a few feet away.

Gavin Brown, 34, pulled the gun on Craig after he whistled at two girls - one of whom was Brown's brother's ex-girlfriend.

The High Court in Glasgow heard that Craig's uncle Andrew Skinner, 44, was stabbed in the leg by an unknown assailant during the confrontation in Kenmore Street.

His horrified son David, Craig's cousin, who seconds before looked down the barrels of Brown's gun, witnessed the shooting. But there was nothing he or anyone else at the scene could do for Craig who died in a pool of blood in the road.

As reported in later edition's of yesterday's Evening Times, the jury saw a horrific CCTV video film of Craig being cradled by his uncle in a pool of blood, and heard a dramatic recording of a 999 call when the operator asked where Craig had been shot.

His aunt replied: "He doesn't have a head left".

Temporary judge Michael O'Grady, QC, told Brown he faced an automatic life sentence and remanded him in custody for reports.

He then ordered Brown to stand up in the dock and told him: "I have no words to adequately describe the brutality of the death you inflicted on Craig or the cowardliness of the attack.

"On the evening of his death Craig McGhee wasn't looking for trouble, and, in fact, was actively trying to avoid it, and was cold-bloodedly murdered by a stranger for no reason."

He said "mercifully, Craig was at peace", but there was no peace for his family, who had lost a son and had borne it with "considerable dignity" as they sat in court.
