Dad’s death: Man in court
A man has appeared in court charged with the murder of a Paisley dad.
John Thomas, 38, is accused of killing John Dalziel, 47.
Prosecutors claim Thomas inflicted “blunt force trauma to his head, did strike him on the neck with a knife or other sharply blade instrument and did set alight a jacket within the property there”.
It’s claimed his alleged actions on Thursday, May 6 at 10pm, at Mr Dalziel’s home in Whites Bridge Avenue, resulted in his death.
Mr Dalziel was pulled out of a blaze at the property after 10pm.
He was rushed to Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital with serious injuries, but died shortly after.
Thomas appeared in the dock at Paisley Sheriff Court on Tuesday afternoon.
He made no plea to the single charge against him during the short hearing.
Sheriff Sukhwinder Gill continued the case against Thomas, of Paisley, and remanded him in custody.
Thomas is expected to make a second court appearance in connection with the case next week.
