The trial of two men accused of murdering three members of a family by setting fire to their home will now take place in Glasgow in May.
Thomas Sharkey, 55; his daughter Bridget, aged eight; and his 21-year-old son Thomas Jnr died after a fire at their house in Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute, in July 2011.
Robert Jennings, 50, and Scott Snowden, 37, had been due to face a trial starting on April 30 at the High Court in Edinburgh. But the trial was yesterday moved to the High Court in Glasgow, where it will begin on May 7.
Jennings and Snowden deny murder. They have also pleaded not guilty to attempting to murder the children's mother, Angela Sharkey, who survived the blaze.
Snowden is accused of displaying malice and ill-will towards Mr Sharkey earlier in 2011 by threatening to shoot him and to have his house set on fire. He has lodged special defences of incrimination and alibi.
Between them, the accused face a total of more than 20 charges, all of which they deny.
The trial is expected to last about eight weeks. A further preliminary hearing will be held in Glasgow on April 22.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
