A suspect has appeared in court accused of murdering a man.

Connor Thomas, 27, allegedly assaulted Joseph McGready at a flat near Glasgow city centre on September 29, 2023.

Court papers state Thomas acted with another when he repeatedly struck Mr McGready on the head and body with a knife.

Amenda Welsh, 47, appeared in court in Monday this week accused of his attempted murder.

However, Mr McGready had died earlier on that day at Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

The charge claimed Welsh acted with another when she repeatedly struck Mr McGready on the head and body with a knife.

Allegations said this was done to Mr McGready’s severe injury, permanent disfigurement, impairment and to the danger of his life as well as attempted murder.

Welsh, of the city’s Govan made no plea at a private hearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court.

Thomas, who has no fixed abode, meantime also made no plea at his hearing and was represented by lawyer Calum Ross.

Both suspects will appear at court again next week. 

Thomas was remanded in custody by Sheriff Shona Gilroy.
