TWO killers who brutally attacked a man outside his mum's pub have been jailed for a total of more than 40 years.

Craig Corrall, 39, and David Callaghan, 30, pounced on Owen Hassan in November 2018.

The 30 year-old dad died after being stabbed in the heart outside the Old Stag Inn bar – run by his mum Ann Marie Lynch in Glasgow's Pollokshaws.

The thugs were today jailed for life at the High Court in Glasgow after they were convicted of murder.

Jurors heard at a trial how raging Corrall was “prepared to do 20 years” after discovering Mr Hassan had been seeing his ex-lover.

He was instead locked up for at least 20 years and six months while Callaghan was sentenced to 20 years.

Lord Woolman told the pair the attack was “pre-mediated and vicious”.

The judge said: “In a victim impact statement, his mother said she cannot describe the physical pain she feels daily, the sickness in her stomach and the ache in her heart.”

He added the jury rejected claims the killers had been victims of “mistaken identity”.

Mr Hassan's mum told the trial how she found her dying son “covered in blood” after he was set upon on November 7 2018.

Miss Lynch: “I was trying to get a phone to call an ambulance. I was just trying to help him.”

The 55-year-old also went after her Mr Hassan's attackers as they fled.

One yelled at her: “F*** off, missus.”

Miss Lynch recalled: “I just thought: “Who are you...what have you done?'.”

Her friend James Nolan also came to Mr Hassan's aid.

The 65-year-old tried to shield Miss Lynch from her son's gruesome injuries.

Mr Nolan recalled the victim's “face hanging off” as he lay in the street.

The electrician told the trial how one of the attackers “strolled” away after the killing.

Mr Nolan: “The guy turned around and just stared at me. He had a weapon. There was no speech, nothing.

“It was a butcher's knife. It was big...seriously big.”

The witness recalled Mr Hassan trying to cling to life, but that “his eyes were going by the second”.

Corrall and Callaghan were eventually held for the murder in March this year following a large scale investigation.

Corrall's former partner Stephanie Kinnaird was quizzed during the probe.

They had been together for eight years before she had a brief relationship with Mr Hassan in 2018.

She blocked Corrall's number after he then bombarded her with abusive and threatening texts.

Prosecutor Lynsey MacDonald asked her: “Did it become apparent that Mr Corrall knew about your relationship with Mr Hassan?”

The 28-year-old replied: “At the beginning, no, but then I received messages from Craig that he knew.”

One message stated: “I told you. It's me or him who dies...”

Another included: “You mean nothing to me...and remember I am prepared to die or do 20 years.”

A further text claimed Corrall would go to jail “as long as its worth it”.

The trial heard Corrall went on to boast to a friend that he had “stabbed the f*** out” of Mr Hassan.

Stephen Ward recalled how the thug earlier confessed he had “done something bad”.

The 24 year-old told jurors: “He informed me where it had taken place. He said that it was a very short distance from the Old Stag Inn in Pollokshaws.”

The court heard today that both thugs continue to protest their innocence.
