Murder suspects deny charge
THE sister and daughter of a woman found dead in their home have gone on trial for her murder.
Lynnette Greenop, 40, and her 20- year- old neice Shayla Greenop ( 20) stood in the dock at the High Court in Glasgow on Monday.
The pair are charged with killing Sharon Greenop at the home they all shared in Aldersyde Avenue in Troon’s Muirhead.
The murder accusation claims the 46 year- old was assaulted on various occasions between September 8 and November 10 2016.
This includes allegations Sharon was repeatedly struck with “object or objects” and had her neck compressed.
It is said injuries were also inflicted “by means unknown” and that there was a failure to obtain medical help.
Sharon is stated to have been so severely hurt that she died.
A fraud charge then includes claims the pair burned scented candles to “conceal the smell emanating” from the “decomposing body”.
The duo face an earlier breach of the peace charge.
Lynnette Greenop further faces separate accusations of assault, theft and a charge of claiming“Carer’s Allowance” when she was not entitled to.
Both women – now with separate addresses in Ayr – have pled not guilty to the allegations.
The trial, before Lady Carmichael, is expected to last three weeks.
