Eight men have gone on trial charged with murdering a dad.

John Henderson (47), Gary Martin (37), Joseph Martin (40), Thomas Martin (45), David Graham (46), Barry Martin (32), James Connor (52) and Dean Leech (25) were in the dock at the High Court in Glasgow.

They are accused of killing Gary Clampett (39) by hitting him with knives, a machete, a sword, a chain, a hammer, a crowbar, a wrench, a stick, bats, golf clubs, poles and a metal bat last June 18 in Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire.

The eight deny the allegations.

The trial, before Lord Beckett, continues.
