A man has been convicted following the death of 40-year-old Sandie Butler in Glasgow in October 2024.
James Paita, aged 42, pleaded guilty to culpable homicide at the High Court in Glasgow on Wednesday, 11 November. He will be sentenced at a later date.
Sandie was found seriously injured outside a block of flats on St Mungo Avenue in the Townhead area of the city around 12.55pm on Tuesday, 29 October. Emergency services attended and she was pronounced dead a short time later.
Detective Superintendent Lynsey Watters said: “Our thoughts remain with the family of Sandie and I hope that this conviction brings some kind of closure for them.
“A disturbance took place that day which ended with the death of Sandie.
“The kind of violent behaviour used by Paita is not acceptable in our society and he will now face the consequences of his actions.
“I would like to thank all officers involved in this investigation for their hard work and the local community for assistance during our enquiries.”
