A man and a woman have appeared in court charged with murder and a third suspect has been arrested after a shooting outside an Edinburgh pub on Hogmanay.

Marc Webley, 38, and another man, 39, were gunned down minutes before midnight outside The Anchor Inn on West Granton Road.

Emergency services attended and the seriously injured men were taken to hospital, where Mr Webley was pronounced dead a short time later.

Police Scotland launched a murder investigation and arrested a man and a woman in connection with the case.

Grant Hunter, 32, and Emma McVie, 25, were later charged with murder.

The pair, from Edinburgh, have also been accused of assault to severe injury, danger of life and attempted murder.

They entered no plea to the charges when they appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Monday.

Both suspects were remanded in custody and are expected back in the dock within the next week.
