A man has been convicted of culpable homicide after a woman died following an altercation over a stolen watch.

Tony Grimes, a convicted criminal aged 43, has been found guilty of culpable homicide at the High Court in Glasgow. Patricia Irvine, 53, died two days after an altercation with Grimes outside her home in Parkhead on 12 May 2024. She suffered an aneurysm following the incident.

Gremes had accused Patricia's son Jordan Wilson, 25, of stealing a watch that was a gift for Grimes's first Father's Day. Wilson denied being responsible. The court heard that Grimes went on to target both Wilson and his family with threats, including on social media and at their door. Wilson told police he was left frightened and intimidated, too scared to walk the streets and relying on taxis. He described one occasion when Grimes grabbed him, saying Grimes displayed 'superhuman strength' and was 'gnawing at my ears'. Wilson also said Grimes threw a coin at a taxi he was in. CCTV footage shown to jurors captured Grimes attacking Wilson in a local shop.
