A 28 year old man has been charged in connection with the murder of former boxer Bradley Welsh and will appear in court today.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “A man has been charged in connection with the murder of 48-year-old Bradley Welsh in Chester Street, Edinburgh on Wednesday 17th April. The 28-year-old will appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Tuesday 14th May.
“He is also charged with the attempted murder of a 48-year-old man and the serious assault of a 22-year-old man in Pitcairn Grove on Wednesday 13th March.
“Members of the public are thanked for their assistance with both of these investigations.”
It’s understood Bradley Welsh and David McMillan and his son, victims of the Pitcairn Grove attack, shared connections and it’s thought the attacks may be linked.
Sean Orman (28)made a brief appearance in private before Sheriff Derrick McIntyre. No plea was made.
