A man has been sentenced following an assault in Edinburgh in December, 2023 which left a man permanently disfigured.

Alijo Danso, aged 22, was sentenced to four years, six months in prison at the High Court in Glasgow on Wednesday, 3 June, 2026.

Around 10.20pm on Sunday, 3 December, 2023, emergency services were called to a report of the assault of a man at a property on Whyte Place, Edinburgh.

Detective Constable Chris Docherty said: “Our thoughts remain with the victim in this case. The injuries inflicted during this attack will remain with him forever, serving as a constant reminder of the ordeal he suffered.

“No one should have to endure the pain and lasting consequences caused by such reckless and aggressive behaviour.

“Violent crime has no place in our communities, and we remain committed to identifying, investigating and bringing offenders before the courts.”
