A man has appeared in court accused of murdering his brother following an incident in a Stirlingshire village last month.

Boan D'Arc, 59, is accused of the murder of 56-year-old Jamieson McLelland who died in hospital on 23 January.

His death followed an incident alleged to have occurred in a house in Thornhill, near Stirling, on 6 January.

Mr D'Arc made no plea during a private hearing at Stirling Sheriff Court.

Sheriff Derek Hamilton committed him for further examination and remanded him in custody.

He will appear in court again next week.
