A Drumchapel thug from a notorious family has had extra time added on to his sentence after being in possession of a knife.

Zico Malavin, 20, was put behind bars for two and a half years for attacking Robert Eadie at his home on Christmas day in 2014.

While on bail for that offence Malavin took a knife out of his Drumchapel home and got in a car with friends.

He plead guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to having a knife “without reasonable excuse or lawful authority”.

Earlier today, sheriff Bill Totten added on an extra year to Malavin’s current sentence and said he would be supervised for six months after his release.

He said “It is clear that a custodial sentence, as has been recognised, is inevitable in this case.”

The court heard that during August 2015 there was a disagreement between Malavin’s younger sister and the daughter of Paul Cafolla - Malavin’s neighbour.

Around 6.35pm on August 21, 2015 at Summerhill Place in Drumchapel, Cafolla opened the door of a Mitsubishi car that was parked outside his house and saw Malavin.

He didn’t recognise the driver or front passenger and the vehicle then drove off.

Later the car returned and Malavin got out and went into his home address and Cafolla came out of his house.

Procurator fiscal depute Claire Connachan said Malavin then came out of the house with a black handled kitchen knife.

Cafolla shouted to his daughter to get a baseball bat from the kitchen, which she did and gave to her mum, who passed it to Cafolla.

Malavin then got back into the car and left the street.

Police received an anonymous call about Cafolla being in the street with a baseball bat and arrived around 7pm.

CCTV from a neighbour captured Cafolla with a baseball bat although did not show Malavin with a knife.

Statements were taken from the Cafolla family about Malavin carrying the blade.

Defence lawyer Lorna Clark: “A situation which could have escalated did not, Mr Malavin quickly removed himself from that.

“It’s simple, he was in possession of a knife and quite frankly he should have known better.”

She said he has recently become a dad to a baby son and “he wishes to lead a crime free life”.

Miss Clark added yesterday: “He fully accepts this type of behaviour is inappropriate within the community.”

Earlier this year Malavin and Steven Souley, 26, admitted attacking Mr Eadie at his home on December 25, 2014.

The victim required surgery to repair a wound to his groin and penis after being hit with an axe and knife.

Souley and Malavin, who were not invited, turned up at about midnight. Souley was armed with an axe and Malavin - who was wearing a red Christmas jumper - was clutching a knife.

Mr Eadie's sister, who knew the pair, demanded that they leave. Her brother was attacked after he tried to put them out of the flat.

Souley was also jailed for seven years for the culpable homicide of Andrew Curran in 2010 but was deemed safe enough to be freed in May 2014.

Malavin’s brothers Angus and Zak were jailed for 18 years and 17 years in 2011 years for Mr Curran’s murder.

A fourth Malavin brother, Kris, was jailed for seven years in 2014 after he tried to run down and kill a key witness in the murder trial
