Bradley Welsh shooting scene
A hitman has been sentenced to at least 28 years in jail for the “cowardly and wicked” murder of T2 Trainspotting actor Bradley Welsh.
Sean Orman, 30, was found guilty at the High Court in Edinburgh on Friday of shooting dead Mr Welsh, 48, on his doorstep in Edinburgh’s west end in 2019, just yards from his partner and young child.
The judge, Lord Beckett, called the killing a “pre-meditated and meticulously planned assassination, the ultimate reasons for which remain unknown to the court.”
Orman was sentenced to life with a minimum term of 28 years before he can be considered for release, sentencing remarks show.
