Man jailed for life for doorstep shooting murder

A man who shot and killed another man on his doorstep has been jailed.

Sean Orman has been jailed for life after being found guilty of the murder of Bradley Welsh and attempted murder of David McMillan at the High Court in Edinburgh.

The 30-year-old shot and killed Mr Welsh outside his home in Chester Street, Edinburgh on 17 April 2019.

He also burst into Mr McMillan’s home in Pitcairn Grove, Edinburgh on 13 March 2019 and attacked him with a machete in an attempted murder.

David Green, procurator fiscal for homicide, said: “Sean Orman carried out brazen and calculated attacks; violently invading David McMillan’s home and taking Bradley Welsh’s life on his own doorstep.

“He took steps to try and conceal his actions, but thanks to diligent work by investigators and prosecutors, Orman has been brought to justice.

“Our thoughts are with both victims and their families at this difficult time.”
