A pathologist told a court a man who was allegedly kicked and stamped to death suffered injuries normally seen in a car crash.

Dr Julie McAdam said she had never come across the type of severe trauma that killed William McKeeney, 57, from massive internal bleeding.

Several of his injuries also suggested blows to the head which left the sole pattern of footwear, Dr McAdam said.

She was giving evidence in the trial of Asif Rehman, 20, and Adel Ishaq, 19, who are accused of the racially aggravated killing of Mr McKeeney outside his home in Pollokshields, Glasgow, in January this year.

Dr McAdam, who led the post-mortem examination, said considerable force must have caused an artery to burst after being pressed against the victim's spine.

She told the High Court in Kilmarnock Mr McKeeney's injury was most often seen in car crashes or falls from considerable height, adding: "I haven't seen this kind of assault before."

The victim's partner, Anne Marie Newlands, 48, earlier told the court she watched from her window as two young men stamped and kicked him on the ground "as if breaking up furniture".

Rehman and Ishaq, both prisoners, deny the racially aggravated murder of Mr McKeeney and showing previous malice and ill-will towards him.

They have entered special defences of incrimination, blaming each other for the killing. Rehman is said to have been on bail at the time.

The trial continues.
