Piper punched and kicked to death
A piper killed a fellow band member in an attack after criticising his playing during a competition.
Keith Drysdale, 38, punched, kicked and hurled a chair at James Mearing during a band practice in the Pipe Room at Redford Barracks, Edinburgh, last May.
Mr Mearing, 51, died in hospital three days later from a brain haemorrhage.
Drysdale, of Parkhead Loan, Edinburgh, was originally charged with murder, but the Crown accepted his guilty plea to a reduced charge of culpable homicide.
