MUGSHOTS of two murderers have been released by police after they were convicted of killing Malcolm McCandlish in Irvine.
Simon Roberts, 38, and Sean McKie, 37, were found guilty of murder at the High Court in Glasgow on Tuesday, April 14, following a week-long trial.
They are due to be sentenced at a later date.
The pair attacked 43-year-old Mr McCandlish in the town centre almost two years ago.
He was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow following the High Street serious assault, where he died more than a fortnight later, on October 14, 2024.
Detective Inspector Ewan Bell said: “Our thoughts remain with the family of Mr McCandish and I hope this conviction helps to bring them some closure.
“This was a deliberate act of physical force that left Mr McCandlish lying unconscious on the ground with injuries so severe that he died in hospital from them a few weeks later.
“Violence like this has no place in our communities and Roberts and McKie will now pay for their actions that day.”
