Police ScotlandA teenager is to stand trial charged with the murder of a man in Dundee.
Lennon Hathway, 18, is accused of fatally attacking Alistair Lamb at a flat in Balunie Terrace, on April 18 this year.
It is claimed the 36-year-old was threatened with a knife before being repeatedly struck on the head and body with the blade.
Hathway – who was 17 at the time – faces a separate charge of assaulting Mr Lamb at the property on the same date.
This includes allegations that the man was punched, pushed and put in a headlock.
Hathway is further accused of assaulting a woman in February 2025 in Dundee.
The case called for a short hearing at the High Court in Glasgow.
Hathway’s KC Mark Stewart stated: “He pleads not guilty to the indictment.
“The case, as far as the defence is concerned, is ready for trial.”
Prosecutor Leanne Cross also asked for a date to be fixed.
Lord Colbeck went on to set a trial which is scheduled to start on September 14, 2026, in Edinburgh.
Mr Lamb’s family paid tribute to him in a statement released by Police Scotland.
“Alistair was dearly loved by all the family, and we are now trying to come to terms with our tragic loss”, they said.
“We are completely devastated and ask that our privacy is respected at this difficult time.”
