The brother of a man allegedly murdered by an Eastern European man stormed into a police station with a baseball bat claiming he wanted to “take revenge”.
Lee Fyans turned up at Dundee’s Baluniefield police station first thing on Monday morning armed with a bat and walked towards cops telling them: “I could kill yous.”
Officers then grabbed him only for him to begin to make threats against the Polish community because he wants revenge for the death of his brother, Ronnie Kidd. Mr Kidd was found dead along with Holly Alexander at a flat in Dundee’s Rosefield Street in December.
Krzysztof Gadecki later appeared at Dundee Sheriff Court facing two charges of murder on petition.
Fiscal depute Eilidh Robertson told Dundee Sheriff Court: “Officers saw the accused walking from the main gate into the compound and as he spotted officers he walked towards them stating he had a baseball bat in his possession.
“He was detained and then made threats towards police officers and made comments of threat towards the Polish community and stated he wanted to take revenge for the murder of his brother.
“He shouted and lashed out and continued to make threats towards the officers including ‘I’ll smash your skull in’.”
Fyans, 35, of Balunie Gardens, Dundee, pleaded guilty to a charge of behaving in a threatening and abusive manner on June 12 at Baluniefield Police Station.
Defence solicitor Theo Finlay said: “He had taken alcohol which in combination with medication he receives resulted in this behaviour. He has no recollection of it. It is fact his brother was murdered some months ago.”
Sheriff Pino di Emidio deferred sentence until next month for social work background reports and released Fyans on bail meantime.
