A FIFTH man has appeared in court charged with attempting to murder Steven Daniel.

John Hardie, 34, allegedly carried out the murder bid in May this year in the Port Dundas area of Glasgow.

The 34-year-old appeared in private at Glasgow Sheriff Court yesterday where he made no declaration.

Hardie was remanded in custody by sheriff Ian Miller and is expected to appear again at a full committal hearing next week.

Andrew Sinclair, 30, Michael Bennett, 30, Robert Bennett, 27, and Brian Ferguson, 35, have already appeared in court in August charged with attempting to murder 37 year-old Daniel.

They also face charges of attempting to defeat the ends of justice.
