Two men in court as trial begins over death of Brian Fox in Dundee on Hogmanay

The High Court in Edinburgh.
The High Court in Edinburgh.

Two men are standing trial over a string of assaults and the death of Brian Fox on Hogmanay.

Wes Reid, 20, and Adam Valentine, 25, stand accused of a number of assault and public disorder charges on the night of December 31 last year, including one that resulted in the death of Mr Fox, 62.

It is alleged the pair punched Mr Fox, causing his head to crash on to the ground, killing him.

The pair deny the charges, claiming self defence.

Valentine, of HMP Perth, also faces charges of assaulting Connell Grieve, Graeme Allen, Sandra Baird, Kenneth Simpson, Amy Elaine, Katie Muir and Alexander Bowman.

Reid, of Newport Road, Tayport, claims Mr Fox was going to punch him.

Advocate Depute Mark McGuire read a list of agreed evidence taken from CCTV footage from a number of city centre and West End pubs and streets.

No witnesses have been called yet.

The trial before Lord Beckett in Edinburgh High Court continues.
