A second man has been charged in connection with the death of another man in Perthshire earlier this year.

The body of 26-year-old John Donachy was found at a flat at Hazel Court in Alyth on Saturday March 3.

Police Scotland said a 36-year-old man has now been arrested and charged over the death.

He is expected to appear at Perth Sheriff Court on Thursday.

It comes after a 35-year-old man was charged with murder when he appeared at the same court in March.

Police Scotland said in a statement: “Once again we would like to thank the local community and public for their patience and information provided while our enquiries have been carried out.
