Man faces court over death of brother in house fire

A MAN is due in court today in connection with the death of his brother in a fire at his family home.

Cameron Logan, 23, died at the house in Milngavie, East Dunbartonshire, in the early hours of Ne’erday. Mr Logan’s partner Rebecca Williams, 24, was rescued from the house but remains in hospital.

His parents David and Cathy were treated for smoke inhalation.

Detectives launched a major investigation and said on Friday they were “following a definite line of inquiry”.

A 26-year-old man, understood to be Blair Logan, has now been arrested over the incident. He is due to appear at Dumbarton Sheriff Court today.

A police spokesperson said: “A 26-year-old man has been arrested and is currently detained in police custody in connection with the death of a 23-year-old man and the alleged attempted murder of a 24-year-old woman, a 54-year-old woman and a 54-year-old man on January 1 in Achray Place, Milngavie.

“A report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.”

Ms Williams, a broadcast journalist with Global Radio, was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Glasgow, after being rescued from the fire.

Her condition was initially described as critical. She was later transferred to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, where she is now said to be in a stable condition.

Police have made a number of high-profile appeals and searches as part of their investigation.

The house in Achray Place remained cordoned off on Saturday, with large green covers still in place over the property.

Officers stood guard at the front and back of the semidetached house and fresh flowers, left in tribute to Mr Logan, had been placed around a tree.
