A Fife man who stabbed his brother in the head with a knife and then months later threatened to do it again has been jailed.
The offences were carried out by Liam Stewart, 32, from Dunfermline, against his brother Jamie, who lives in Kirkcaldy.
Following the knife attack, Stewart made phone threats to his brother that he would “put you down”, give him another scar and said he would happily spend time in jail for stabbing him.
A sheriff said that Stewart would “no doubt be happy” as he was given an 18-month sentence at Dunfermline Sheriff Court.
He previously admitted that on July 31 at Law Road, Dunfermline, he assaulted Jamie Stewart by striking him on the head with a knife to his severe injury and permanent disfigurement.
He also admitted that on March 14 at Cheviot Road, Kirkcaldy, having previously appeared on petition on a charge of assaulting Jamie Stewart with a knife, he repeatedly sent voice messages to him, repeatedly made threats of violence towards him and threatened to assault him with a knife.
Defence solicitor Martin McGuire said the brothers had a “turbulent relationship” and the initial assault happened following an evening of alcohol consumption.
