A former Scottish laird, Malcolm Potier, is sentenced to two years in prison after strangling a woman during a live performance of “We Will Rock You.” Court records state that Potier throttled Kirsty O’Donnell on 7 June 2023 at the London Coliseum.
The outlets describe the incident as taking place in the context of a public entertainment venue and focus on the allegation that Potier used violence against O’Donnell during the event. While the available report centers on the assault and the sentence, other characterizations—such as Potier’s prior conduct mentioned in the same reporting—are presented as background rather than the basis of the conviction for the strangling incident described here.
