A man has been charged with murder after he died suddenly on one of the Orkney islands over the weekend.
Police officers from Scotland were called to an address in St Margaret’s Hope, South Ronaldsay early Sunday morning.
A 21-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene just after 7.30am and another 49-year-old man was arrested.
Erland Fraser, 49, appeared shortly before Kirkwall Sheriff Court, where he pleaded not guilty to murder and was remanded in custody.
