A PAIR of thugs who faced the ancient charge of ‘hamesucken’ pleaded guilty during a trial at Campbeltown Sheriff Court.
Stuart Graham, 39, of Seabank, Low Askomil, Campbeltown, and Michael Malcolm McGougan, 27, of 125 Allander Road, Bearsden, Glasgow, had pleaded not guilty to six charges but five were dropped during the trial when they admitted one charge of hamesucken, for which the penalty used to be death.
The offence is defined as a premeditated assault on a person in his or her own dwelling.
