THE brother of a man who died in a house fire in Milngavie on New Year's Day has been arrested by police.

Blair Logan, 26 is being held in custody over the incident and is due to appear in court tomorrow.

Cameron Logan, 23, died in a fire at his family home in East Dunbartonshire, in the early hours of New Year's Day. His partner Rebecca Williams, 24, was rescued from the house but remains in hospital, while his parents were treated for smoke inhalation.

Detectives launched a major investigation and said on Friday they were "following a definite line of inquiry".

A Police Scotland spokesman said: "A 26-year-old man has been arrested and is currently detained in police custody in connection with the death of a 23-year-old man and the alleged attempted murder of a 24-year-old woman, a 54-year-old woman and a 54-year-old man on January 1 2017 in Achray Place, Milngavie.

"A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal."

Williams, known as Bex, a broadcast journalist with Global Radio, was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow initially in a critical condition. She is now said to be stable.
