Detective Superintendent John Morrison said: “It has been just over two years since this murder took place and Mr McGeachie lost his life. Our thoughts remain with his family and friends at this time.
“Mr McGeachie was subjected to horrific levels of violence and suffered a fatal stab injury that cost him his life.
“Violence and the use of weapons has no place in society. I’d like to commend the work of officers who conducted a thorough investigation which has resulted in Cummins-Summers and McColl being convicted of their actions.”
