A 39-year-old man, who has not yet been named, was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary where he died a short time later.

The pair, from Aberdeen, made no plea to the charge of assault to danger of life.

Both Riddell and Knight were remanded in custody and are due back in court within the next week.
