Two suspects are to stand trial charged with trying to kill a man who later died. William and Jordan Steele are accused of attacking Darren Sinclair in Drumchapel, Glasgow last February.
Prosecutors claim Mr Sinclair (27) was followed in a car, before being hit by the vehicle and then repeatedly struck with a machete and metal pole.
The attempted murder charge states the Steeles were “acting with others” currently unknown.
Mr Sinclair is listed on the indictment as “now deceased”.
William Steele is also accused of attempting to pervert the course of justice by setting fire to the car used in the alleged murder bid.
The 50 year-old and 23 year-old Jordan Steele pled not guilty during a short hearing at the High Court in Glasgow.
Lady Stacey set a trial due to begin in June. The case is expected to last around five days.
