A 30-year-old man was found injured within the stairwell of Greig Court on Gerrard Street at around 11am on Monday, December 6.

He was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary to receive treatment for serious injuries.

And now Amanda Duncan, 29, and Sandy Mundie, 35, have appeared in private at Aberdeen Sheriff Court in connection with the matter.

The pair, both of Aberdeen, each faced a charge of attempted murder.
