Thugs jailed for robbing top lawyer

TWO armed thugs who robbed the house of one of Scotland's top lawyers have each been locked up for three years and four months.

Alexander Stevens and Jordan Demarco confronted QC Ian Duguid at his Edinburgh home while clutching a meat cleaver and a ten-inch knife.

Stevens, 20, and Demarco, 19, were each out of jail just a matter of days when they raided Mr Duguid's property on October 18 last year.

They returned to the dock yesterday after previously admitting the assault and robbery.

Judge Lord Kinclaven sentenced the pair at the High Court in Glasgow and also ordered that they be supervised for a further 12 months on their release.

Getaway driver Frankie Gilmour was locked up for 18 months after he pleaded guilty to taking part in the break-in.
