BOXING champion Kenny Anderson has made a second appearance in court charged with attempting to murder a man with a hammer.
Commonwealth Games gold medallist Anderson, 26, is alleged to have struck David Togher with the weapon in Hay Drive, Edinburgh on June 23.

The professional super-middleweight is understood to have been training in Los Angeles when detectives visited his wife Lisa at their home in Paisley Drive, Willowbrae, to speak to Mr Anderson in connection with a hammer attack in Hay Drive, Craigmillar at around 8:20pm last Tuesday.

Another man, Dean Scott, 26, from Edinburgh, also appeared from custody at Edinburgh Sheriff Court today charged with the same offence.

It is alleged the pair, while acting together, repeatedly punched and struck Mr Togher with a hammer on the head, severely injuring him, and attempted to murder him.

They appeared separately, in private and on petition, before Sheriff Alastair Noble, and made no plea.

Both were remanded in custody after being refused bail and are planning to appeal for their freedom at the High Court later this week, said their solicitors.

DETECTIVES are today hoping to talk to a 39-year-old father shot on his Edinburgh doorstep as children slept upstairs.

The victim, named locally as Douglas Downing, was today recovering after being wounded in the waist area as he walked his dog by a shotgun blast fired by a masked man.

Detectives say they are hoping to talk to the "well-respected family man" again today as they try to identify a motive behind the shooting in Duddingston's Paisley Drive yesterday morning.

His two young sons were led away by relatives yesterday afternoon clutching small suitcases while Mr Downing's partner, Carol McEvoy, is understood to have spent the day at his bedside at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.

The sons are both pupils at Parsons Green Primary School, just 50 metres from the spot where their father was shot.

Asked by neighbours how he was coping with what happened to his father, the older child is said to have replied "OK".

A family friend described Mr Downing, a plumber, as a "lovely, quiet guy" and said the community was struggling to understand why anyone would shoot him.

The attacker, who was wearing a ski mask or balaclava, fired at least two shots, with one of them hitting Mr Downing and the other reportedly damaging the house.

The victim was able to raise the alarm and an ambulance arrived at the scene minutes later.

Officers described the attack as "lethal and life-threatening" and said that while they could never rule out a case of mistaken identity, they were satisfied Mr Downing was deliberately targeted.

Officers said they had not identified any drug or criminal-related motive for the shooting.

Police said Mr Downing underwent an operation yesterday and was able to speak to detectives for a few minutes and give them a brief description of the assailant.

Detectives said a silver car parked in nearby Meadowfield Drive was seen leaving the area at speed at the time and may have been the escape vehicle.

A team of five officers spent yesterday combing through Mr Downing's front and back garden, and his bins, looking for evidence the gunman may have left.

Detective Superintendent Allan Jones said that Mr Downing was shot as he returned home from walking his dog at around 12:40am yesterday. He said: "On entering his home address, he became aware there had been somebody lingering in the background.

"He turned round and that individual discharged what we think may have been a shotgun at him.

"At least two shots were discharged, one of these striking the victim. It was a very serious and cowardly attack which could easily have been lethal."

A family friend of Mr Downing said: "Doug is a lovely, quiet guy. Carol's lovely as well and they have two sons that go to the same school as my children. It must be terrible for the family for that to happen on their doorstep. No-one can think of any reason why that would happen to Doug."

Det Supt Jones said that the shooting was an "incredibly unusual" incident and that there will be additional high-visibility police patrols on the street to reassure residents in Duddingston.

Police also want to speak to two teenagers – unconnected to the incident – who were playing football nearby at that time

A MAN has been stabbed around a dozen times in a vicious assault linked to the shooting of father-of-two Douglas Downing.
Dean Scott, 26, is being treated at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary after the attack in the Inch on Sunday night.

His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening and detectives are waiting to question him.

They are thought to be keen to establish whether the attack is connected to the shooting of Mr Downing outside his home in Paisley Drive, Willowbrae at 12:40am last Wednesday.

Mr Downing was blasted by a masked gunman with a shotgun as he returned from walking his dog in what police are convinced is a case of mistaken identity.

Police said their investigations into the two attacks were ongoing and would not comment on whether they were linked.

But sources close to criminals in the south of the city said that the stabbing had been carried out on the instructions of the same drug dealer that ordered the botched hit in which Mr Downing was shot.

Mr Downing, 39, is now recovering at home after being released from hospital. and friends said he was "trying to get back to normal life".

Residents in the Inch said a large number of officers descended on the area yesterday in response to the stabbing.

A police spokesman said: "Police in Edinburgh are carrying out inquiries after a 26-year-old man was assaulted in the Inch area of the city on Sunday night. The man was later admitted to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, where he is being treated for his injuries."

It doesn't take a top detective to link these 3 together. The guy who was shot in a case of mistaken identity lives in the same street as Kenny Anderson. It looks like he is in a world of sh1t.

Very interesting stuff.

So as it seems, kenny and deano have done this guy in, they have went for a revenage attack to shoot kenny and got wrong guy by mistake but have caught up deano and stabbed him repeatly. I have done some home work and the person they attacked is a well known piece of scum heroin/crack coke dealer from edinburgh he is known scum and imagine he has done something really bad for kenny to do this.

[robster]

I've read that all charges against Kenny Anderson have now been dropped.

I've read that all charges against Kenny Anderson have now been dropped.

were u read this mate????

[robster]

On ESB

[hoop]

I know Kenny well, David Togher is a scum bag a bully and is hated in Edinburgh, him and his drug dealing friends think they are untouchable, delighted the charges have been dropped and I am also delighted that scum bag got badly hurt it couldnt have happened to a better person.

[coneye]

Sounds like if Kenny and his mate have took to him with an hammer , and he's survived and come back and A--- shot someone believing its Kenny
B-- Then gone and stabbed Kenny's accomplice . Seems like he's one nasty peice of work and they did'nt hit him hard enough with the hammer.

Sounds to me like When /If Kenny gets off , he has two choices , look over his shoulder and fear for his and his families life for the rest off his days .

2--- Go finish the job, either way he's facked , remember the old saying sleep with dogs you catch fleas

[johnty1888]

It says in the BN this week all charges have been dropped.

[coneye]

Well if this guy Togher is anything like Hoop said , there will be a few who want to buy Kenny a pint. shame but most cities /areas have this sort of scum bag running around . Might be time to give all the police a gun and more liberty to use them

Catch 22 though isn't it? I mean sure it's giving the police more power in their fight against crime but it also gives these sh*theads who we call our police force more opportunities to fvck up and slot some innocent kid.

David Togher is the leader of a large drug dealing gang from Edinburgh, they are not hard men or anything just thugs who people are terrified of they shot out peoples windows, slash faces, bottle people etc etc.

The story I heard which comes from a Anderson family member goes like this, Kenny and his mate Dean bumped into Togher and a few other members there is a bit of bad blood between kenny and the gang due to kenny's older brother who mixes in those circles (kenny is the oppisit to his brother and has never had anything to do with them, never goes out clubbing or fighting), Kenny although very quite is well known for going completly physco when he gets annoyed, I know you get some boxers who are not street fighters but Kenny is a hard laddie who can roll about and handle anybody. So Togher ended up badly injured, later that night a man who lives in Kennys street was shot, it was not Togher who done it as he is still in hospital, the man who got shot looks nothing like Kenny but it is likely it was a member of this gang who done this. Dean was then involved in a fight with an other high up member of this gang the story I heard was that Dean who is also very handy with his fists gave the member a right going over, he was then stabbed but not badly hurt he was in court the next day for the hammer attack. The charges where dropped due to lack of evidence no witnessses willing to talk, no weapon being found etc. Everyone I have spoken to is delighted someone stood up to this thug, infact the police said to Kenny of the record "that laddie is the biggest menace in edinburgh and if he doesnt open his eyes again we will be happy people!", Kenny said while he was in jail he was supplied with a mobile phone and sent food packages from other inmates who where delighted he had stood up to this thug. David Togher is so hated he has had 15 offical death threats from the police this year (they make you sign a bit of paper saying you have been informed they have intellagence your life is in danger). I cant really write the in's and out's of the attack but I think its safe to say Dean or Kenny would not attack or need to use a hammer on anyone so it is very possible that it was Togher who had the hammer but it was taken off him and at some point he was hit with it himself.

Kenny just got Himself another Fan
