Murder accused wanted friend to call him ‘Vamp’

THE trial of a British man who told police he drank his victim’s blood and ate part of his head heard yesterday of the deceased’s extensive injuries.

Thomas McKendrick, 21, was hit over the head with a hammer-like object and stabbed 42 times in the head, neck and body.

Allan Menzies, 22, of Fauldhouse, West Lothian, denies murdering Mr McKendrick on December 11 last year and burying him in a shallow grave.
