- He also pleaded guilty to firearms offences over illegal possession of a Glock handgun and live ammunition during the spring.
- CCTV and a widely shared video showed a man run to the address and fire three shots, with a white BMW 1 Series later tracked and found burned out near Dalmeny.
- A Glock, magazine and bullets recovered from a Crewe Road Gardens property on April 17 were forensically matched to casings from Niddrie Marischal Crescent.
