Felix Thrust

Felix Thrust is currently facing criminal charges in the UK, specifically in Scotland, related to the murder of Dean Kennedy.

Key Facts and Charges:

• Felix Thrust, 36, is accused of killing Dean Kennedy, 38, in Glasgow's West End on December 25, 2025.
• Prosecutors allege that Thrust struggled with Mr. Kennedy, then repeatedly punched, kicked, and stabbed him on the head and body with a "multi-tool" or similar item.
• Thrust also faces a separate charge of possessing the weapon at the scene of the alleged killing and at Glasgow Airport on both Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
• Additionally, he faces a second charge of assaulting three other unknown men with a knife between December 25 and December 26, 2025.

Court Appearances and Proceedings:

• Mr. Kennedy was found injured on Napiershall Street in Glasgow around 11:40 PM on Christmas Day, 2025, and later died at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
• Thrust initially appeared on petition at a private hearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court on December 29, 2025, charged with murder. He made no plea at this hearing and was represented by lawyer Greg Cunningham, being remanded in custody.
• His first public court appearance was at the High Court in Glasgow on April 27, 2026.
• During this appearance, Thrust stated he was representing himself, prompting Judge Lord Mulholland to advise him on the seriousness of the murder charge and the importance of legal representation. Lord Mulholland also indicated that prosecutors might lodge "vulnerable witness applications," which could prevent Thrust from self-representation at trial.
• The case was continued for a further hearing.
• A preliminary hearing for the case (HMA v Felix Thrust, Reference: SCS/2026-029515) was scheduled to continue at the High Court in Glasgow on July 2, 2026, at 10:00 AM.
