A man was found covered in blood hours after he allegedly killed his partner, a court has heard.

Alexander Brennan, 54, denies murdering Brodie MacGregor, 23, in her flat in Glasgow’s Springburn on 26 August 2024.

The trial at the High Court in Glasgow heard Brennan was wearing a bloodstained jumper and had injuries to his hands and face on the day of the suspected murder.

Fragments of glass and blood were also found on clothing belonging to MacGregor.

Witness Tina Marie Hatton told the court that she knew Brennan through her then partner Robert McCallum and had met MacGregor previously.

She stated on the day of the suspected murder, she returned home to her property in Camelon, Falkirk, to find Brennan inside.

Hatton, 46, said he was wearing a hooded jumper with blood all over it and she cleaned him up.

She told the court she took Brennan’s jumper but did not wash it.

The witness added he had injuries to his hands and above his eyebrow.

When she asked what was going on Brennan replied that he “couldn’t stop” and he was “done”.

Hatton said she would have phoned the police if she knew who he “attacked”.

The murder charge claims Brennan punched and slapped MacGregor.

It goes on to state he also repeatedly struck her on the head and body with glass bottles and hit her with a microwave plate.
