A woman whose father was stabbed to death has been excused from attending her own court hearing.<\/p>\n

Shannon Greenhorn, 29, was to appear for her deferred sentencing on Wednesday at Glasgow Sheriff Court.<\/p>\n

Her father James Greenhorn, 61, was ambushed by two topless men near his home in Glasgow\u2019s Tollcross on Monday.<\/p>\n

The dad-of-two was walking to the local shop when he was attacked by his killers.<\/p>\n

CCTV showed Mr Greenhorn with his hands in his pockets and his hood up before he was approached from behind by a man.<\/p>\n

One man then assaulted Mr Greenhorn before a second man kicked the grandfather as he tried to defend himself.<\/p>\n

Mr Greenhorn can be heard shouting, \u201cWhat have I done?\u201d as one of the men appeared to stab him while the other kicked him on the ground.<\/p>\n

His daughter Shannon had previously pled guilty to four different charge sheets, which spanned from April 2024 to March 2025.<\/p>\n

She admitted a string of offences, which include assaulting police officers and resisting arrest.<\/p>\n

Greenhorn had also pled guilty to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner.<\/p>\n

Sheriff Joanna McDonald ordered her to be of good behaviour and a review of the order was to take place.<\/p>\n

Ian McClelland, defending, told the court: \u201cShe has been in my office on a number of occasions since Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cA sad episode happened to her father where her father was murdered.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe position is for her matters is that she attended my office yesterday and was advised she was not required to attend today which I am sure you will have no difficulty with.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe is in a very fragile state and I ask that you continue matters.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf she continues to be unwell and unable to attend I can advise about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lawyer also advised the court that his client had been of good behaviour.<\/p>\n

Sheriff McDonald fixed a new deferred sentence hearing for March.<\/p>\n
