Teenager Charged with Murder and Assault
Caleb Ferguson Appears in Court
A teenager has appeared in court accused of murdering a 20-year-old. Caleb Ferguson, 18, appeared at Perth Sheriff Court on Tuesday charged with one count of murder and one of assault.
Ferguson, from the Perthshire town of Perth, made no plea or declaration during the short private hearing.
Solemn Courtroom Atmosphere
The courtroom was quiet and solemn as Ferguson stood in the dock, flanked by two police officers. The 18-year-old's lawyer, Tony Lentin, spoke briefly to the court on his client's behalf.
The charges against Ferguson stem from an incident that took place in Perth on Saturday night. Cameron Rae, 20, was allegedly attacked and killed in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Further Proceedings Adjourned
Ferguson was remanded in custody and will reappear in court at a later date. The case has been adjourned for further proceedings.
The charges against Ferguson are serious, and the outcome of the legal process will have a significant impact on the lives of both the accused and the alleged victim's family.
