A Paisley man’s denied murdering another man by repeatedly hitting him on the head and causing him to drown.
William Cameron, 38, is alleged to have murdered Darryl Fitch at Locher Water, Bridge of Weir, Renfrewshire, between July 10 and 13, 2015.
Prosecutors allege that Cameron repeatedly inflicted blunt force trauma to the 43-year-old’s head by striking him with a blunt instrument or against a hard surface, causing him to fall and drown.
Cameron is also accused of stealing a mobile phone at Locher Water and having cannabis resin, Diazepam, Temazepam and Oxazepam in his possession.
He denied all the charges against him when he appeared at the High Court in Glasgow earlier and judge Lord Beckett fixed a trial for September.
