Welsh, 48, was fatally shot in the head by contract killer Sean Orman. Orman had been paid £10,000 by gangsters to carry out the shooting with a shotgun believed to have been made in the 1890s

The actor, who starred in Danny Boyle's 2017 Trainspotting sequel and also ran a boxing gym, was killed while his partner Emma Grant and young daughter were inside the flat. Legal documents have now revealed he had a total estate in Scotland worth £448,293.

It is thought the bulk of estate was an insurance payout following his brutal slaying. It is expected the estate will be passed to his daughter. At the High Court in Edinburgh, Orman denied any wrongdoing but was convicted by jurors of the April 2019 killing following a 12-day trial.

He claimed to have been riding a bike alone in Kirknewton, West Lothian, at the time Welsh died. But he was caught after driving a high powered Audi Q3 through the streets of Edinburgh at speeds exceeding 123 miles per hour.
