Second man in court over Dundee Easter weekend ‘murder’

A second man has appeared in court accused of murdering Steven Hutton in Dundee on the Easter weekend.

Scott Henderson appeared in private on a petition alleging he and others forced entry to a Charleston Road flat on Saturday March 30 by repeatedly kicking the door.

The charge states Mr Hutton, 43, was then murdered by being struck on the head and body with a hammer before being repeatedly struck and stabbed on the body with a knife.

Henderson, 39, of no fixed abode, is accused of stabbing Mr Hutton with a screwdriver or a similar implement.

During the brief hearing at Dundee Sheriff Court, he made no plea and was remanded and committed for further examination after no plea for bail was made.

Barry Murray, 43, of Ann Street, Dundee, appeared in court charged with the murder on Tuesday.

Before Henderson appeared in court, police issued a picture of Mr Hutton and said inquiries are ongoing.
