Murder charge after man dies from injuries in Eastbourne

Graeme Hardie died on March 5 this year – a year and a half after being seriously injured in a collision in Aberdeen.

He was being cared for at Chaseley Trust to be close to family, Aberdeen newspaper the Evening Express reported.

Police Scotland confirmed Michael Scott, 39, has been charged in connection with Hardie’s death.

He was due to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Thursday (June 25).
