Third teen arrested in connection with death of Kayden Moy

The boy, aged 14, is the third person to be apprehended as part of an investigation into the alleged murder.

Kayden, 16, of East Kilbride, was found seriously injured at Irvine Beach on Saturday, May 17, after cops were called to reports of a disturbance in the area.

Emergency services attended and the teen was taken to Crosshouse Hospital in Kilmarnock. He died a short time later.

Two other teenagers - both aged 17 and from East Kilbride - have previously been arrested in connection with his death.

Both have since appeared at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court where they were charged with murder.

They also faced further accusations of attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Both teens, who cannot be named due to their age, also faced a further charge of possession of an offensive weapon, and of having a bladed or pointed article in a public place without reasonable excuse.

They made no plea during brief hearings and were committed for further examination.

They were both remanded in custody and will return to the dock in due course.
