A second man has been charged with attempted murder in connection with a fire at a flat in Inverclyde.

The incident happened in Kincaid Court, Greenock, on Monday, September 28 when the ground-floor property was set alight.

A 22-year-old has been charged with attempted murder in connection with the blaze.

It comes after Colin McGhee appeared at Greenock Sheriff Court last week charged with wilful fire-raising and attempted murder.

The 25-year-old, of Falkirk, made no plea and was remanded in custody.

Detective superintendent Gerry McBride said: “This is the second arrest and charge in connection with the incident at Kincaid Court in September. 

“Enquiries remain ongoing and I would continue to urge anyone with information to contact police.”
