A suspect has appeared in court charged with the murder of a man in Edinburgh.

Peter Mullen, 30, was found with serious injuries after emergency services were called to a disturbance in the city’s Leith Street, near Greenside Row, at around 7.45pm on Friday.

He was taken by ambulance to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, where he died a short time later.

Dylan Curran, 23, was later arrested and charged by Police Scotland in connection with Mr Mullen’s death.
