Woman accused of murder over body parts found in Loch Lomond

Graham Wright was last seen in the Gorbals area of Glasgow on 20 August

A woman has been charged with murdering and dismembering Graham Wright, whose remains were found at Loch Lomond last month.

Linda Kelly, 47, was also charged with attempting to defeat the ends of justice by washing and bleaching her flat and common close after disposing of Mr Wright's body at various locations.

She entered no plea at Glasgow Sheriff Court. Mr Wright, 38, was reported missing from the Gorbals area of Glasgow in August.

Another man, David McColl, 50, previously appeared in court charged with killing and dismembering him before dumping his body parts in Glasgow and Loch Lomond.

Court papers state Kelly assaulted Mr Wright and caused him to be "fatally injured" at a property in the Gorbals between 20 August and 13 September.

It is claimed she then dismembered and disarticulated his body with sharply bladed and serrated instruments before disposing of the remains.

This was said to have been done in various locations which include wooded areas in Castlemilk as well as Loch Lomond.

The papers go on to say Ms Kelly cleaned her flat and its common close with bleach.

It is stated she removed, concealed and destroyed evidence of the crime of murder to avoid detection, arrest and prosecution.

She entered no plea and will appear again within the next eight days.

Ms Kelly was remanded in custody pending further examination by Sheriff Owen Mullan.

Mr McColl was previously accused of similar charges, including using sharply bladed and serrated instruments to attack Mr Wright.

Another man, John Roarty, 53, has also been accused of attempting to defeat the ends of justice.

Both men made no plea earlier this month.

Police Scotland said Mr Wright's family was being supported by specially trained officers and "extensive inquiries remain ongoing".
