Two suspects have appeared in court charged with the murder of a man whose body was found in a street in Aberdeenshire.

Emergency services were called to Ives Road in Peterhead on Sunday evening following reports of a death.

Police said the body of Andrew Ross, 52, from Aberdeen, was recovered from outside an address.

In a statement released through Police Scotland, Mr Ross’s family said: “The family are coming to terms with their loss and respect privacy at this difficult time.”

Two men were arrested and charged in connection with the incident. Meanwhile, a third man was released without charge.

Ethan Carlyle, 21, and Luke Allan, 27, appeared at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Wednesday where they made no plea to the charge of murder.

The case was committed for further examination with Carlyle and Allan remanded in custody.

The pair, from Peterhead, are expected back in court within the next eight days.
