POLICE say murdered man Gavin Ross had taken his cousin into his Abbeyview flat "as an act of kindness" before Daniel Ross stabbed him to death.
Daniel Ross attacked Gavin Ross (28) at a flat in Dunfermline in April, stabbing him 23 times and was jailed for life at the High Court today (Friday) after pleading guilty to murder.
The attack happened at the home of Gavin Ross in Abbeyview between 28th-30th April.
Detective Sergeant Neil Seath, from the Major Investigation Team, said, “Gavin had taken his cousin into his home as an act of kindness and was subsequently subjected to a significant level of violence, which led to his death.
“Daniel Ross was detained shortly after and remanded in custody while detectives investigated the full circumstances of this incident and built a case against him for trial.
“His guilty plea and sentence today reflect the commitment of Police Scotland and our partners at the Crown Office in removing violent offenders from our communities.
“Our condolences continue to be with Gavin’s family and hopefully today’s verdict will offer them some form of closure and allow them to move forward.”
