Derry man appears in Glasgow Court charged with murder

A Derry man has appeared in court in Scotland charged with murdering a man in Glasgow in 21 years ago.

Philip Morrison (39), who was arrested in Derry yesterday, is accused of strangling and robbing 24-year-old Derek Sheerin on waste ground near London Road in Glasgow’s east end on 25 September, 1994.

Morrison made no plea or declaration when he appeared in private at Glasgow Sheriff's Court.

Court papers allege Morrison strangled Mr Sheerin (pictured) with a belt and robbed him of a watch, tobacco and £20.

He was remanded in custody to appear at a full committal hearing on a date to be arranged.
