Teenager faces trial over rape and murder of OAP

A TEENAGER accused of murdering a 63-year-old  woman during a sex attack in Drylaw is to stand trial.

Jay Soso admits having sex with the pensioner.

 

Marie Reid’s body was found at her home in Easter Drylaw Way, on November 15 2010.

Jay Soso, of Home Street, Tollcross, admits having sex with the pensioner but denies rape and murder.

After a brief hearing at the High Court in Edinburgh yesterday, judge Lord Turnbull allowed Soso, 19, to remain on bail until his trial in Glasgow on May 29.

Soso is accused of raping Marie Reid and committing other sex acts before inflicting injuries “by means unknown” which led to her death.

He also denies cleaning up in the house in an attempt to destroy evidence.

Other charges, which Soso also denies, allege that he stole a bank card and pre-pay television box, stole cash from ATMs and had cannabis and amphetamine in his possession.
