Second suspect cleared of murder bid on dad outside Glasgow school

A second suspect has been cleared of a murder bid on a dad outside a school.

Martyn Fitzsimmons (37) was accused of being involved in an attack on Ross Monaghan in January this year.

The incident is said to have occurred at St George's primary school in Glasgow's Penilee.

But, prosecutors accepted his not guilty plea to the allegation.

Fitzsimmons instead pled guilty to two firearms charges as well as concealing criminal property during the hearing at the High Court in Glasgow.

He will return to the dock next year.

His co-accused on the shooting charge - Mark Richardson (30) - was last week also cleared of involvement.

Three men will now meantime go to trial later this month to face a number of allegations including being involved in a five year campaign of organised crime.

David Sell (49), Barry O'Neill (37) and Steven McArdle (33) deny all accusations.
