Sheriff Gilchrist told Somerville: “I recognise this was under provocation but this was extremely violent behaviour and a gross response – with your response resulting in breaking both of your victim’s arms, which is completely unacceptable. A custodial sentence is appropriate for this completely unacceptable level of violence.”
He jailed Somerville for a total of eight months.
