Scots dad murdered in 'despicable' attack was planning to propose to girlfriend
Sean McKay had a one-year-old son with his girlfriend Chloe McCormick. A Scots dad who was murdered in a completely unprovoked attack was planning to propose to his girlfriend at the time of his death. Sean McKay, 23, was walking home from work when he was stabbed to death in Dalry, Ayrshire, on October 10, 2021. Gavin McVey was found guilty of murder following a trial at the High Court in Paisley and sentenced to a minimum of 21 years in prison. Police Scotland said McVey, 42, stabbed the young dad for "absolutely no reason other than his own wickedness". The knife caused damage to his liver, diaphragm and heart. Despite members of the public rushing to help, he was found dead at the scene. Sean's family have since taken part in a new Channel 5 documentary on the case called Murdered At First Sight. His girlfriend Chloe McCormick told the programme she found out after his death that he was planning to ask her to marry him. The couple had a son together, Oscar, who was just one-year-old at the time of labourer Sean's death. Chloe, 25, said: "I just miss his laugh, hearing his voice. He made everyone laugh all the time. "I have never moved on from it. Even now four years later I still think that there is nobody as good as him. "After Sean died I found out he was going to ask me to marry him. He had spoken about it with his closest friends. "I would have said 'Yes' definitely." Chloe also said the prison sentence given to McVey should have been longer. She added: "He was given 21 years but I've lost my partner, Oscar has lost his dad. It just wasn't enough." Relatives of Sean told how McVey has never explained his actions and treated them with contempt when they came face-to-face with him in court. The killer, who denied his guilt, shouted and swore and made an offensive hand gesture to the family as he was leaving the courtroom to begin his sentence. Sean's sister Simone said: "Gavin showed us all the middle finger as he went back downstairs after being found guilty. "It made us feel horrible but it showed his character." His mum Debbie said: "Gavin McVey didn't give any reason. There was no reason why he could have killed him. "He didn't even speak in court. I thought we would maybe get answers why (it happened). When the jury came back and said 'Guilty' it was brilliant. We all cheered." As the jury read out their unanimous verdict, dozens of Sean's family, friends and loved ones clapped, cheered and said 'thank you' to the jury. McVey denied his guilt throughout the trial and blamed another person who he was with for Sean's death. However the court heard how he sent a text to a pal stating: "I killed some c**t" following the incident. He had already attempted to cover his tracks by hiding the blooded knife in his mother's garden and disposing of his jacket before buying new clothes at a shop in Ayr.

Sentencing McVey, judge Lord Mulholland said: "You've been convicted of murder of Sean McKay - a young man with his whole life ahead of him. "He was on his way home from work when he encountered you under the influence of alcohol with a knife. "You've also delivered a life sentence of grief to his partner, son, mother, father, sister and other family and friends. "This was a senseless murder. What you did was despicable and cowardly." Murdered At First Sight will be shown on Channel 5 on Monday at 10pm.

Major UK supermarket to reward money to customers who 'point out' shoplifters
Shoplifting offences are said to cost the retailer £20million per year. Iceland's boss has called on loyal customers to help tackle the rise in shoplifting crimes. The incentive will see those who help out rewarded with a cash prize. Richard Walker, Executive Chairman to the frozen foods giant, has said that he will top up customers' Bonus Card with £1 every time they spot someone shoplifting in store. Once the thieves have been pointed out to a staff member, those signed up to the supermarket's loyalty scheme will have the money credited to their account and available to spend immediately. The Sun reports the move means that Iceland may be the first UK supermarket to bring in an incentive for customers who help out with the fight against shoplifting across the country. Customers who do point out any shoplifters in store are being encouraged not to directly interact with them, but instead to alert the nearest staff member with a detailed description. Walker also believes that the reward will hopefully help it to lower its costs after it was revealed that shoplifting currently costs the company £20million per year. Speaking to Channel 5 News on Wednesday, August 13, the Chairman said: "I'd actually like to announce that we will give a pound to any customer who points out a shoplifter. "We will put it on their bonus card if they see any customer in our stores who are undertaking that offence." The supermarket's boss then said that, while some see shoplifting as a "victimless" crime, it is in fact a cost to the business, with the multi-million pound loss being "a cost to the hours that we pay our colleagues." Alongside mentioning the "intimidation" and "violence" of the crime, he further added:"That's not £20 million of profit. That's just £20 million that we could pay in more hours to our colleagues or in lowering prices." "So we'd like our customers to help us lower our prices even more by pointing out shoplifters and then we'll give them a quid back." Iceland's reward comes after the Office for National Statistics (ONS) that shoplifting incidents rose to a record high, with crimes across England and Wales soaring 20 percent in March 2025 to 530,643.

It is said to mark the highest number of shoplifting offences since the record began over 20 years ago in March 2003, with the figures equivalent to over 10,000 thefts per week, or more than 1,400 per day. With the stark rise in crimes across the UK, many major supermarkets and retailers have been introducing measures to help protect their goods and staff members against offenders. Earlier this year, Sainsbury's and Tesco introduced cameras that record customers at its self-service checkouts that will alert when an item that doesn't look like it has been scanned is placed in the bagging area. Meanwhile, the likes of Co-op, Tesco, Lidl, H&M and Ann Summers have been equipping staff members with body cameras to protect their wellbeing amidst the rise in violent retail crime.
