A convicted murderer who was jailed for life has been blocked from being entered on Glasgow’s register of private landlords.

Morton Eadie, who was involved in a hit on a man in the street in 2018, was turned down by the council, which ruled he was not a fit and proper person, reports the Glasgow Evening Times.

Ongoing trial

A council official said it had been told about the ongoing trial when it first received his application to join the register. Eadie was then convicted on 9^th February. His daughter-in-law told the committee she intends to take over the running of the property in the Wyndford area of the city and has spoken to letting agents over managing it on her behalf. She said the home had previously been let out by a property management firm.

Life imprisonment

Eadie was sentenced to life imprisonment, with 22 years before he can seek parole, for the shooting of Kenny Reilly in Maryhill, along with three other men – Darren Eadie, Ross Fisher and John Kennedy. All four were also convicted of attempting to defeat the ends of justice by setting fire to a car in Craigieburn Garden in a bid to destroy evidence.

It was reported at the time that Eadie was the getaway driver during the hit, which had been arranged by his son Darren. The men are hoping to overturn the guilty verdict at the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh.
