Man killed with Buckfast bottle

Two teenage drinkers have admitted killing a man they attacked as he lay on the ground near a shopping centre.

Jack Wilde, 24, was repeatedly kicked and hit with a Buckfast wine bottle after being chased in Glenrothes, Fife.

He was challenged to a "square go" after he came across the youths at the Glenwood Shopping centre.

At the High Court, Robbie McKay, aged 17 and 18-year-old Andrew Irvine admitted culpable homicide. They were remanded in custody pending reports.

Buckfast Tonic Wine is made by the Roman Catholic Community of Benedictine monks at Buckfast Abbey in Devon, and sold by J. Chandler & Co (Buckfast) Ltd of Andover. Thanks, guys.
