Man, 43, in court on Dundee murder charge

Police officers remain at the scene of the incident in Dundee's Charleston Road

A 43-year-old man has appeared in court accused of murdering another man in Dundee at the weekend.

Prosecutors allege Barry Murray, acting with others, forced entry to 43-year-old Steven Hutton's home before murdering him.

Officers were called to the scene on Charleston Road at about 23:00 on Saturday.

Mr Murray made no plea during a private hearing at Dundee Sheriff Court and was remanded in custody.

He is expected to appear in court again next week.

Mr Hutton was taken to the city's Ninewells hospital but died on Sunday morning.

A large police presence remained at the scene on Sunday and Monday, with officers seen searching a nearby woodland area.

Detectives said inquiries into the incident were continuing and there would be a continued police presence in the area.

Det Insp Richard Baird said: "We are continuing to appeal to the public to get in touch with us with any information they have.

"I would urge anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to contact us."
