Killer jailed for death of 'amazing dad' in street attack

by Adam

A man who killed a "loving" father-of-seven in a street attack in Aberdeen has been jailed for seven years.

Derek Pearson, 47, had denied attacking Steven Johnson in Carmelite Lane in March 2023 and lodged a special defence of self defence.

Mr Johnson, 50, fell and struck his head and later died in hospital.

A jury found Pearson guilty of culpable homicide after a five-day trial at the High Court in Aberdeen.
