A MAN has appeared in court charged with murdering his partner with a knife.

Hugh Baird, 39, allegedly killed 33-year-old Jennifer Morgan on April 18 at Alexander Place, Kirkintilloch and repeatedly stabbed her.

It’s alleged he sat outside in a car and shouted at her when she came out of her house.

Prosecutors claim he followed her and and repeatedly stabbed her with a knife.

Baird, from Maryhill, Glasgow, appeared in private at the city’s sheriff court where he was represented by Ian Sievwright.

He made no plea and was remanded in custody by sheriff Diana McConnell.

He will appear next week for a full committal hearing.
