It is said the 25-year-old - known as Billy - was repeatedly struck with knives and a bottle.

The murder charge states Mr McGuire was left so badly hurt, he died in hospital the next day.

The three are separately accused of attempting to murder John Higgins at the house by allegedly assaulting him in a similar manner.

Folan faces a further accusation of attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Prosecutors claim he fled after the alleged attacks to different addresses in Dundee, Perth, Liverpool and elsewhere.
