Teenager arrested in connection with alleged attempted murder

Published 18th Apr 2015

A teenager has been arrested in connection to the alleged attempted murder of two brothers. The victims, named locally as Peter and James Stewart, required hospital treatment after an incident in a stairwell in Edinburgh's Wardieburn Place West earlier this month. It happened after the pair had travelled more than 100 miles from Aberdeen to buy a car. A 16-year-old has now been arrested by police in connection with the incident. A report is being sent to the procurator fiscal and he is due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Tuesday. Officers said inquiries into the incident are continuing.
