Man admits killing

A man accused of committing a double murder yesterday admitted killing a man and woman at their home.

Ronald Kidd and Holly Alexander were found dead in a flat in Dundee’s Rosefield Street last December.

Krzysztof Gadecki, 38, told the High Court in Edinburgh that life was a “gift” and that he had a right to defend it when he was attacked by the couple.

Gadecki has denied murdering Mr Kidd, 40, and Ms Alexander, 37, between 8 and 11 December last year at the flat in Dundee.

He has also lodged a special defence of self defence and claimed that he had been assaulted by the deceased.

The trial, which is taking place before Lord Boyd of Duncansby, continues.
