Dr Fortune Gomo had been living in the UK for the past 10 years

A 20-year-old man accused of murdering a scientist by stabbing her on a street in Dundee has appeared in court for the second time.

Dr Fortune Gomo, 39, was treated by paramedics but died in South Road, in the city’s Lochee area on 5 July.

Kyler Rattray, from Dundee, made no plea and was remanded in custody when he appeared via videolink at Dundee Sheriff Court.

Mr Rattray was fully committed for trial and the case will call again at a later date.

A fundraising event at Sandy’s Bar in Lochee for Dr Gomo’s family raised over £11,400 on Sunday.

Meanwhile an online fundraiser to create a communal space commemorating Dr Gomo has raised more than £20,000.
