A teenage boy who was held in custody for the alleged attempted killing of a young man in Kilwinning who later died has now been charged for murder.
The 17-year-old from Kilwinning, who cannot be named for legal reasons due to his age, appeared in court for a full committal hearing on Thursday last week [June 3] where he was charged with the murder of 19-year-old Daryll Wright.
He entered no plea and was released on bail.
Daryll Wright, 19, later died in hospital
It follows the incident which took place on Saturday, May 22 when at around 2.30am police received a report of a disturbance in a lane at the rear of Ladyford Avenue in the town.
Emergency services attended and Daryll, pictured right, of Coatbridge, was taken to Crosshouse hospital where he died on Monday, May 24.
The male from Kilwinning previously appeared at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court on Tuesday, May 25 where he was originally charged for attempted murder.
He will return to court at a later date.
