Men found dead after Inverness disturbance identified by police
Dwayne MacLeay and Gary MacKay both died in the incident on Thursday night
Two men who were found dead after a disturbance in Inverness have been identified by police.
28-year-old Dwayne MacLeay and Gary MacKay, who was 35, were both pronounced dead at the scene when police were called out to a house in Balloan Road on Thursday night.
Mr MacLeay's family said he was a kind and caring person who would help anybody.
They added: “He lived to play his guitar and sing. The family request privacy at this time.”
Mr MacKay's family said: “Gary was a dearly beloved son of Gordon and Linda, a brother of Darren and Alan, uncle and a friend to many.
“Gary was known by the nickname 'Chunk' by many and he will be sorely missed by all. Gary was a happy and friendly person, his passion was to watch Inverness Caley Thistle, his team who he followed for many years.
“We have been shocked by the recent events and would ask that our privacy is respected at this difficult time.”
A 23-year-old man has been charged in connection with the two deaths and the injury of a 27-year-old woman. He is expected to appear at Inverness Sheriff Court on Monday.
