A man who subjected his friend to a torture ordeal which ended with the victim leaping to his death from a 12th-storey flat has been jailed.
Lee Smith, 37, was given an eight-year jail term on Wednesday following the death of Jamie Forbes, also 37.
The High Court in Edinburgh heard how Smith abducted Mr Forbes and held him against his will at his flat in Elphinstone Court, Aberdeen, on January 14 and January 15, 2024.
The court heard how Smith repeatedly struck his victim with a hammer and punched and kicked him during the assault.
