A man has appeared in court accused of killing a Dundee man by repeatedly exposing him to “burning liquid or steam on his head and body”.
Mark Anderson, 50, appeared in private on petition today at Dundee Sheriff Court, charged with the culpable homicide of Nigel Poustie, 49, at an address in Thurso Crescent.
It is alleged that on July 4 this year, Anderson assaulted Mr Poustie, did repeatedly strike him on the head and body with an unknown implement and did repeatedly expose him to burning liquid or steam on his head and body, whereby he succumbed to his injuries, and did kill him.
Mr Anderson also faces another charge of being concerned in the supply of a class C drug, diazepam, at the same address on July 1 this year.
Both offences were alleged to have been committed while Anderson was on bail.
Appearing in front of Sheriff Alastair Brown, the case was continued for further examination.
Anderson made no plea or declaration and no application for bail was made. He was remanded in custody ahead of a further hearing next week.
