Two Men Sentenced for Planned Murder | Glasgow News

Two twenty-one-year-olds, Marshall Strachan and Kieran Lindsay, received life sentences for the brutal, premeditated murder of 44-year-old John Taylor in Kilwinning — a crime fueled by revenge that left his family shattered. Lindsay orchestrated the attack while Strachan, masked and wielding a knife, delivered the fatal blow. A third man, Kiey O’Connor, drove them to the scene and later helped cover their tracks by burning evidence and selling the getaway car — though he claimed ignorance of their intent. Though initially charged with murder, O’Connor’s case was dropped; instead, he pleaded guilty to drug charges and obstructing justice, aiding prosecutors. The judge underscored the cold planning behind the attack and its devastating ripple effects on Taylor’s loved ones, sentencing both men to a minimum of eighteen years behind bars.
