Montrose murder bid accused makes second court appearance

A 41-year-old man has been remanded in custody following a second court appearance on a Montrose murder bid charge.

Paul William Halliday made a private appearance from custody at Forfar Sheriff Court on a petition alleging assault to severe injury and attempted murder.

Halliday, from Montrose, made no plea or declaration and was fully committed, with a date for his next court appearance yet to be determined.

His arrest followed an incident on November 9, which led to a 26-year-old male being taken to hospital with a neck injury.
