A second teenager has been charged over the death of a man who was found injured in an Aberdeen flat.

Scott Hector was discovered in Marischal Court at around 7am on Friday.

The 20-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.

On Saturday, police said an 18-year-old man had been charged in connection with the death.

A 17-year-old boy has now also been charged with both due to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Tuesday.

Mr Hector's family previously said in a statement: "Scott was a dearly beloved son, a brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and a friend to many.

"We are all heartbroken by our loss and Scott will be sorely missed by all.

"Scott was an outgoing, happy person who enjoyed life to the full. He had a love for football and enjoyed gaming on his PlayStation.

"We have been totally shocked by the recent events and will never understand why this has happened to Scott.

"We would ask that our privacy is respected at this difficult time.''
