35-year sentence in Glasgow killing

GLASGOW, Scotland, May 3 (UPI) -- A Scottish car dealer and another man were sentenced to at least 35 years in prison for killing a young man at a Glasgow garage and wounding two others.

The sentences were the longest ever handed down in Scotland, The Scotsman reported. The man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 got a minimum of 30 years.

Raymond Anderson, the car dealer, and James McDonald were convicted Friday.

Michael Lyons, 21, was killed and his cousin Steve Lyons and another young man, Robert Pickett, seriously wounded in the shooting on Dec. 6, 2006. Two masked men walked into a garage owned by David Lyons, uncle of Michael and Steve, and opened fire.

The motive for the killing was never clear. David Lyons received a note 10 days later claiming the young men had owed 25,000 pounds ($50,000) for drugs, which he turned over to police.

Investigators said that Anderson and McDonald had weaponry that included military equipment stolen from an army facility in Yorkshire. During the investigation, the pair were recorded referring to themselves as "untouchables."
