William Reid murder accused 'seen in bouncy mood on day of death' A murder accused was seen in a "bouncy mood" the day a man was tortured and killed, a trial heard. Steven McCole told a court he bought drugs from one of the accused before watching him and his flatmate walking off with William 'Bob' Reid. Taylor Gordon and Drew Paterson are on trial for murdering Mr Reid by torturing him in their flat in Perth before dumping his body in a field and leaving him to die in sub-zero temperatures. Mr McCole, 23, a prisoner, told the High Court in Perth on Thursday that he knew Paterson and bought cannabis from him in the street. He said he saw the accused with Buckfast some time later. Asked about Paterson, McCole said: "He was quite hyped. He was in a high mood. He was in a bouncy mood, jumping about all the time. Taylor was trailing along, bouncing along, beside him. They would probably have been on the same type of drugs. The second time I saw him [Paterson] he had Buckfast. The pair are alleged to have attacked Mr Reid with a vacuum cleaner, golf club and television before murdering him by dumping him in frozen temperatures. Gordon, 19, and Paterson, 25, both from Perth, deny murdering Mr Reid in the city on December 7 and 8 last year. Gordon and Paterson are alleged to have attacked Mr Reid by repeatedly punching and kicking him on the head and body and dragging him through a flat in the town's Inchaffray Street. It is alleged that they refused to phone an ambulance and put Mr Reid in a car to drive him to a secluded area at Bute Drive pitches and dumped him in freezing temperatures. He has also pled not guilty to phoning the emergency services with a disguised voice and false name in a bid to avoid being linked with the crime. Paterson denies a third charge of supplying cannabis to people at the flat, and at KFC, between July 1 and December 8 last year. The trial, before Lady Clark of Calton, continues.
