The second of two men accused of murdering 16-year-old Liam Aitchison has been granted bail.

Jonathan Mackinnon, of Stornoway, and Stefan Millar, of Carloway, Lewis, both 21, are both charged with killing the teenager.

Mackinnon, of Stornoway, was granted bail at Inverness Sheriff Court when he appeared earlier this week.

Co-accused Millar, of Carloway, had already been bailed before Christmas.

Both had initially been remanded in custody after their first court appearance in December.

Liam was found dead in a derelict house by the village of Steinish, two miles from Stornoway, at the beginning of December.

The teenager was from Lochboisdale in South Uist but was spending time on his father's home island of Lewis since leaving secondary school in the summer.

His death is believed to be the first murder on the Isle of Lewis for more than 40 years.
