Second World's End trial bid begins

The man cleared over the World's End killings opposes moves for him to be put on trial for a second time, a court has heard.

Angus Sinclair stood trial more than five years ago, accused of murdering 17-year-olds Christine Eadie and Helen Scott. He was acquitted of the charges, which he had denied.

The two girls were last seen leaving Edinburgh's World's End bar in 1977.
