A KILLER stabbed to death a gangland figure after an apparent row over a dog.

Hashim Uddin attacked Omer Saqid during a rammy at the 28 year-old's family home in Pollok, Glasgow last September 15.

Sadiq had gone to the flat after it emerged Uddin was planning to split from his wife.

The 32 year-old was struck twice with a hunting knife and later died in hospital from his fatal injuries.

Uddin faced an allegation of murdering Sadiq, who had links to the race-hate killers of Glasgow teenager Kriss Donald.

But, a guilty plea to the reduced charge of culpable homicide was accepted by prosecutors.

Uddin was remanded in custody pending sentencing next month.

The High Court in Glasgow heard there had been claims Uddin had been having an affair behind the back of his wife Iqraa Malik.

Prosecutor Leanne McQuillan said he appeared "unhappy" at the rumours.

But, on September 15 - the day of the killing - Uddin called his wife's mum to say he was "leaving her".

Sadiq - married to Iqraa's sister - told a relative he would go to Uddin's home and "everything would be fine".

Miss McQuillan said what then exactly happened at the flat was unclear.

But, she added: "Sadiq and his wife made their way to the property with their dog.

"They were allowed entry, but Uddin and his wife were unhappy that they had brought the dog as they were frightened of it.

"They were asked to leave it outside, but it was brought in."

The court heard there was then an "altercation" between the men.

Other relatives also turned up and Uddin's mum ended up badly injured.

Uddin was heard yelling: "Who the f*** are you bringing a dog into my house?"

A "stressed" Uddin was ushered away before Sadiq and his wife left the flat.

But, as the couple drove away, Sadiq discovered he was bleeding heavily.

Miss McQuillan: "They became stuck in traffic and Sadiq flagged down a passing police car for assistance.

"He told officers he thought he was dying."

It was found Sadiq had two stab wounds. He was rushed to hospital, but never recovered.

After the killing, Uddin told a friend: "I've done something. I cannot tell you right now.

"Stay away from my house and Pollokshields. There is police everywhere."

Later that night, Uddin then told a woman Sadiq's dog had been "barking at the baby" and that an argument followed.

He said Sadiq had a weapon before Uddin got a knife and stabbed him.

Miss McQuillan: "He told her that he had ruined everything."

After handing himself into police on October 1, he claimed to have been acting in self-defence.

The advocate depute told the hearing the guilty plea was accepted on the basis Uddin struck Sadiq twice with the knife during the end of the row at the flat.

Uddin's QC Thomas Ross said: "He was in his house and was confronted by Mr Sadiq.

"To some extent he was intimidated by him given what he knew about his past.

"He was with the dog and the animal, in itself, introduced an element of fear.

"It became very quickly a highly charged situation."

Lord Beckett deferred sentencing until June 23 in Edinburgh.
