Scots teen posted selfie with caption 'gametime' shortly before knifing neighbour through the heart

A Scots teenager took a selfie with the caption 'gametime' shortly before he killed a neighbour.
Jack McBride was just 17 when he knifed Johnny Winters in the heart during a confrontation in the street in Johnstone, Renfrewshire on April 1 2020.
McBride had earlier called his ex-girlfriend taunting her that she thought he could not "kill" somebody.
He had gone on trial at the High Court in Glasgow charged with murdering 26 year-old Johnny.
But, via his QC Thomas Ross, McBride had his guilty plea to the reduced charge of culpable homicide accepted by prosecutors today.
McBride - now 19 - was remanded in custody pending sentencing next month.
McBride and Johnny had both lived in High Street, Johnstone.
The killer previously suspected Johnny was responsible for the door of his family home being torched in 2019.
McBride then believed Johnny's partner had later made a threat towards his sister.
On the night of the fatal attack, the teenager called his ex-girlfriend ranting about the victim.
This included him stating: "You think I cannot kill someone. You think my bark is bigger than my bite.
"Johnny Winters thinks he is a name. I will be a name."
Both his ex and his mother failed to calm McBride down. He soon left the flat armed with a kitchen knife.
The teenager stormed up outside Johnny's flat and yelled at him to come downstairs.
Prosecutor Neil McCulloch told the court: "McBride video recorded this interaction and shared it over Snapchat.
"The Snapchat commences with a screenshot of a text message sent earlier by him to Johnny Winters.
"It is captioned: 'F*** Johnny - tried him once, I'll try him again. Lets hope he does something this time'.
"McBride can be seen in the recording shouting up at the window demanding he come out.
