Shane Donnelly, 27, carried out brutal attacks and took part in starting a blaze at flats during a spate of lawlessness in the Borders, which included carrying out "hits" for a drug-dealer. The victim said he was not selling anything and Donnelly responded: "Are you sure you are not selling anything?". Donnelly then went to a takeaway restaurant in Galashiels on October 4 and began shouting at the owner. Donnelly struck again on October 10 when he turned up at a house on Glendinning Terrace, in Galashiels, with others. She said Donnelly told them he would return to see if the debt had been paid.
