Two men have been charged with murder after the death of a man in Aberdeen.

James Chadwick, 37, was found dead at his home in Holland Street on September 9.

Ryan Gibb and Cameron Laurie, both 30 and from Aberdeen, appeared at the city's sheriff court today.

They were charged with murder and attempting to defeat the ends of justice, the Crown Office confirmed.

No plea or declaration was made and they were both remanded in custody as the case was continued for further examination.

They are expected to appear in court again next week.
