A post-mortem found 78 injuries after Brennan repeatedly struck Brodie MacGregor with broken glass bottles, and a judge said he showed complete disregard for her life.
- Alexander Brennan, 54, was sentenced to a minimum of 22 years at the High Court in Glasgow for murdering his partner Brodie MacGregor, 23, at her Elmvale Street flat in Springburn on August 26, 2024.
- Brennan repeatedly struck MacGregor with broken glass bottles during the attack, inflicting injuries described by a witness as so severe that "this was one that stood out for me and will stay with me forever."
- A post-mortem examination identified 78 injuries to MacGregor's head and body. Doctor Julie McAdam stated MacGregor could have survived had Brennan sought medical assistance within the hour after the attack.
- Brennan discarded blood-stained clothing in a bin near the flat and placed a 999 call lasting over 90 seconds before fleeing to Camelon, where he was arrested in Stirling on August 28.
- Judge Lord Scott condemned Brennan's "wicked disregard" for whether MacGregor lived or died. Detective Superintendent Lynsey Watters stated violence against women and girls remains "an absolute priority" for Police Scotland.
