Father Of 17 Children To 15 Different Mothers Facing Life Sentence After Being Found Guilty Of Murder

A man after fathering 17 children by 15 different mothers is facing life behind bars after he is convicted of murdering a man in brutal knife attack.

Jamie Cumming stabbed James Getty to death outside The Maltman pub in Dundee’s Mains Road - causing 'lethal' injuries to his heart, lungs and liver.

He denied the attack - which took place in front of a string of witnesses, and tried to shift the blame onto a mutual friend of his and Mr Getty’s.

But a jury took just two hours to reject Cumming’s story and convict him of murdering Mr Getty by a majority verdict. After the verdict was delivered, advocate depute Gillian Wade told the court that Cumming had 19 previous convictions; including one for assault to injury.

And she added: 'The accused is in a relationship and has three children from that union.

'But it is believed he has another 13 children from various other relationships.' A nine-day trial at the High Court in Dundee heard how Cumming had clashed with Mr Getty in the toilets of The Maltman bar during a mutual friend’s 50th birthday party.

Mr Getty was seen with blood coming from a wound above his eye as he left the toilets, before he followed Cumming outside the pub, where the 'scuffle' broke out.

The fight moved into neighboring Mid Road, with James Kelbie, whose 50th birthday the pair had been attending - getting between the pair trying to 'separate' them.
