Aberdeen Sheriff Court

An Aberdeen man who made homophobic remarks and threats of violence towards another man has been ordered to carry out unpaid work.

Dean Bowman, 22, appeared at Aberdeen Sheriff Court and admitted behaving in a threatening or abusive manner at an address on School Avenue on August 28 last year.

Fiscal depute Alan Townsend said Bowman became “irate” during a row over property and that was when he made the comments and threats of violence against his victim.

Defence agent Dylan Middleton said: “He lost his rag and he utterly regrets it.

“He is a pleasant young man who simply lost control on this occasion.”

Sheriff Ian Anderson ordered Bowman, whose address was given in court as Gordon Mills Crescent, Aberdeen, to carry out 40 hours of unpaid work.

To go with story by Bryan Rutherford. A Highland hotel owner has been reported to the police for allegedly driving over 100mph in his luxury Bentley sports car near Alness.
Property tycoon Ruchir Gupta, who runs the Kingraig House Hotel in Invergordon, smiled at the camera as he was filmed for his YouTube channel called Richie On Tour.
The video showed the millionaire jet-setter flying in a private plane from Malaga to Inverness Airport before taking to Highland roads in his limited edition Bentley Continental Supersport vehicle.
'It's the fastest four-seater by top speed in the world,' he tells viewers, before appearing to accelerate more than 40mph above the limit to overtake two cars 10 miles from Alness.?
During the potentially incriminating video, a close-up shot of the speedometer reveals that the 12 o'clock position indicates a speed of 160kmph or 100mph, which Mr Gupta appears to reach and exceed later in the footage Picture shows; Ruchir Gupta.
