High Court in Glasgow
TWO men will stand trial in the New Year accused of murdering a woman.
Allan Docherty, 33, and Weir McKay, 44, are charged with killing Karen Young at a flat in Port Glasgow, Inverclyde, in June last year.
The charge includes claims a hand and metal spoon was forced into the 47-year-old's mouth.
It is further alleged she was hit with a metal pole, hammer and that “blunt force injuries” were inflicted “by means unknown.”
Docherty faces two separate drugs charges while McKay is further accused of theft as well as fraud.
The pair, both of Port Glasgow, today denied the allegations.
Lady Scott set a trial for January 2019 following a short hearing at the High Court in Glasgow.
The case could last for up to 10 days.
