A teenager has appeared in court charged with the murder of a young man in Glasgow.

Ryan Willcox, 21, was pronounced dead at the scene after officers were called to Castlemilk’s Stravanan Road at around 4.30pm on Friday.

Police Scotland subsequently launched a murder inquiry and arrested and charged an 18-year-old man in connection with Mr Willcox’s death.

Suspect James Wilson made no plea to the murder charge when he appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday.

The teenager has also been accused of breaching a bail condition.

Wilson, of Glasgow, was remanded in custody and is due back in the dock within the next week.
