A woman has appeared in court charged with the murder of a man in Glasgow last year.

Joseph McGready, 30, was found seriously injured at a property in Braid Square shortly after midnight on Saturday 30 September 2023.

Mr McGready was taken to the city's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, where he died on Monday 2 October.

On Wednesday, Police Scotland arrested and charged Laura McHugh, 31, in connection with the death.

McHugh made no plea to a single murder charge when she appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court.

McHugh, of the city, was remanded in custody and is expected back in court within the next week.

Two other people also appeared in the dock in October in connection with the case.

Conor Thomas, 27, has been accused of murder, while Amanda Welsh, 48, faces charges of assault to severe injury, permanent disfigurement, impairment, danger to life and attempted murder.
