A man has appeared in court charged with murder after an alleged stabbing in a Midlothian town.

Robert Kay made a brief appearance on petition at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Thursday following the death of Carlo Volante in Bonnyrigg earlier this week.

Mr Volante, 40, died in hospital after a disturbance on Auld Coal Grove on Tuesday afternoon.

Kay, 36, appeared on a single charge of murder.

He made no plea or declaration and the case was committed for further examination.

Kay was remanded in custody and is expected to make a second court appearance next week.
