Man ‘killed friend to become immortal’

A SCOTTISH man told a court yesterday how he killed his lifelong friend and drank his blood because he believed it would guarantee him immortality as a vampire.

Allan Menzies, 22, told the High Court in Edinburgh he was now a vampire after killing 21-year-old Thomas McKendrick on December 11 last year.

Menzies, of Fauldhouse, West Lothian, also told how he attacked McKendrick who he had known since he was four after he insulted a character in a vampire movie.
