Three people are due to make a second appearance in court today accused of murdering Arbroath man Steven Donaldson.
Tasmin Glass, 19, Callum Davidson, 23 and Steven Dickie, 23, all from Kirriemuir, are expected to appear at Forfar Sheriff Court.
It follows their brief appearance in private on petition before Sheriff Jillian Martin-Brown on Monday June 18.
All three were arrested on Thursday June 14 and charged the following day in connection with the death of 27-year-old oil worker Mr Donaldson, whose body was found at the Loch of Kinnordy nature reserve, outside Kirriemuir, on June 7.
Last week the three were called separately with Davidson represented by solicitor Nick Markowski.
He was charged with murder, assault and three counts of breach of the peace.
Dickie, represented by solicitor Nick Whelan, was charged with murder and three counts of breach of the peace and Glass, represented by solicitor Robin Beattie, was charged with murder.
All three made no plea, were committed for further examination and remanded in custody.
The discovery of Steven Donaldson’s body shocked the Angus community and triggered a major police investigation.
Roads leading to the reserve were closed and the traffic cordon remained in place for a fortnight.
A no-fly zone was also put in place above the RSPB reserve.
