Man jailed for killing young Springburn mum

A man who murdered his partner has been sentenced to life in prison.

23 year old Brodie Macgregor was found dead at her flat on Elmvale Street in Springburn on August 26th, 2024, after being attacked by her partner, 54 year old Alexander Brennan.

During a trial at the High Court in Glasgow, the jury heard that Brennan had fallen out with Brodie.

A taxi from Stirling dropped Brennan off at Brodie's home around 1.35am and he went inside.

Brodie dialled 999 around 4.35am, where she was heard to say on the call: "You attacked me."

Officers attended Brodie's home but were told by her that the call was a mistake and that she was safe in Brennan's company.

CCTV later showed the pair separately leaving the property and walking in the surrounding area before returning to the flat.

Around 9.41am, footage showed Brennan putting his blood stained trousers in a clothing bin near Brodie's flat.

He was seen to place a phone to his ear at 9.55am in a 999 call which lasted over 90 seconds.

When asked by the call handler if the patient was breathing, Brennan replied: "I don't think so."

Paramedics quickly arrived at the flat but could not get in so the fire brigade were called to force open the door.

Brodie was pronounced dead at the scene at 10.15am.

A post-mortem examination carried out on Brodie after her death identified a total of 78 injuries to her head and body.

Brennan, of Larbert, was found guilty of murdering Brodie and was jailed for a minimum of 22 years.

Judge Lord Scott told him: "You murdered her when she was 23 - there were no victim impact statements but I am told about surviving siblings and a young child left without their mother.

"You brutally murdered a woman who offered no threat to you.

"A doctor described her injuries as ones seen in high velocity impacts or falling from a building.

"As she lay there for around an hour, conscious or unconscious, you took no steps to seek medical assistance which would have offered a slight chance that she would survive.

"You showed complete disregard to whether she lived or died."
