Two Oban men have been jailed for a total of 43 months for their part in an assault involving the use of the blunt side of a knife.
David Ogilvie, 33, who was previously remanded in Low Moss Prison, was sentenced to 28 months, and Michael MacPhee, 33, of 4 Burnside Court, Oban, to 15 months. During the second day of a jury trial, both men pleaded guilty to shouting, swearing and uttering threats of violence, as well as repeatedly punching, kicking and holding a knife to another person’s neck.
The victim sustained fractured ribs and swelling and bruising to his face. The Oban men were sentenced on Tuesday August 28 at Oban Sheriff Court, where the court heard that on February 18 this year, the victim was in a flat with Ogilvie and MacPhee.
