Man who killed brother in fire appeals sentence

A man who murdered his brother by setting fire to him as he slept on New Year’s Day is to appeal against the length of his sentence.

Blair Logan poured petrol on his younger brother, Cameron, 23, and the bed he was sharing with girlfriend Rebecca Williams at their family home in Milngavie, East Dunbartonshire.

Ms Williams was rescued from the fire and treated in hospital, but Cameron died while his parents were treated for smoke inhalation.

Logan, 27, pleaded guilty to charges of murder and attempted murder last month.

He was given a life sentence with a minimum of term of20 years at the High Court in Edinburgh in August.

A spokesman for the Judicial Office for Scotland confirmed Logan has lodged a notice of his intention to appeal against the sentence.
