A man murdered his brother by dousing him in petrol in a New Year's Day fire at their parents' home in East Dunbartonshire.

Blair Logan admitted killing Cameron Logan, 23, at his parents' house on Achray Place, Milngavie, in the early hours of January 1.

The 27-year-old poured petrol on his younger brother Cameron, 23, and the bed he was sharing with Bex Williams as they slept.

Blair Logan stored the petrol in his bedroom after taking it from a church garage a month and a half before the blaze.

He was said to have had a "hostile relationship" with his brother and searches of his computer found he had researched burn injuries.

At the High Court in Glasgow, Blair Logan also admitted to trying to murder Ms Williams while endangering the lives of his parents David and Catherine.

The family's dog, Gomez, also died in the fire.

After his arrest, Logan told police: "I didn't want to kill him."

Advocate depute Alex Prentice said the accused admitted pouring petrol "with the intention of maiming or crippling" his brother.

The attack was said to be in retaliation for a recent incident at the house when his brother had punched him.

Defence lawyer Shelagh McCall QC said Logan showed "wicked recklessness" but did not intend to kill his brother.

He was said to have "felt physically sick at the whole thing".

Logan was the subject to two psychiatric reports which concluded there was not sufficient evidence for a plea of diminished responsibility.

Ms McCall said there were "unusual traits" in Logan's personality and he had a lack of understanding of the impact of his actions on other people.

Lady Scott asked for a social worker report and set a sentencing date for August 11 at the High Court in Livingston.
