They are also accused of carrying out a murder bid on Mark Bexley at the same address by repeatedly striking him with a knife, or similar instrument.

William Gauley faces a further charge of assaulting Gillian Walker on the same street by pushing her on the body and hitting her on the head with a bottle, or similar instrument, to her injury.

The men, from Easterhouse, appeared from private at Glasgow Sheriff Court yesterday (Wed).

They made no plea and were remanded in custody by sheriff Margaret Liddell.

They will appear for a full committal hearing next week.

Paul was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary and was pronounced dead a short time later
