Two men deny fatally stabbing Andrew Ross in Peterhead

The jury was shown CCTV of the incident in question.

Det Con Kim Duncan, of Police Scotland, said it showed Mr Ross appearing to be struck several times by men who both looked to have an object in their right hand.

She said a man believed to be Mr Allan could be seen using a “punching or stabbing motion”.

And she said a man believed to be Mr Carlyle also began to strike towards where Mr Ross was lying.

Judge Buchanan told the jury the case against Mr Carlyle, defended by Gareth Jones KC, and Mr Allan, defended by Brian McConnachie KC, was expected to last about seven days.

The trial continues.
