The popular barman was found dead near an industrial estate last month with “horrible” injuries, after he had been beaten and set fire to.

The vicar, Reverend Patterson said Stuart’s death was: “one of the darkest in Cumnock’s recent history”.

During the funeral procession through the town, 600 mourners followed the hearse through to the cemetery.
