Suspect faces murder charge over Leith death last week
A 33-year-old man has appeared in court for a second time charged with the murder of a man in Edinburgh.
Jake MacKay made no plea as he appeared during a full commital hearing at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Wednesday. The 33-year-old was remanded in custody.
He faces charges of murder, possession of a bladed article, and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
The appearance follows the death of 35-year-old Barry Gilgun, who was found with serious injuries following a disturbance outside Cables Wynd House, known locally as the Banana flats, in Leith last week.
Mr Gilgun was taken by ambulance to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, where he died a short time later.
MacKay, of Edinburgh, was committed for further examination and remanded in custody.
