Manincourtchargedwith murder of 41-year-old
A MAN has appeared in court charged with murdering another man.
David Lamont, 30, is accused of killing Eugene Richards, 41, in Milton, Glasgow, earlier this week.
Lamont, from Glasgow, appeared in private at the city’s sheriff court yesterday.
He made no plea and was represented by defence lawyer Peter Malone.
He was remanded in custody and will appear again for a full committal hearing next week.
Mr Richards was found with serious injuries in a flat in Liddesdale Square on Monday and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Residents living nearby say they heard a convoy of police cars race up to the square after 10pm. A cordon was then set up around the square with police blocking access to shops including a convenience store, hairdressers and pharmacy.
The flat where the man died is above the row of shops which are well-used by the Milton community.
Two sets of police officers stood guard at either side of the entrance to the flats while another officer with a clipboard redirected motorists who were trying to access the shops.
The death came four months after a targeted attack on a man in his own home in nearby Liddesdale Road, which is still an ongoing investigation. Jamie Daniel, 41, was in his flat when two masked men, both armed with knives, burst in and attacked him.
