EUAN “EJ” Johnston had “no enemies”, a murder trial heard.

A close friend made the claim to police days after the 26-year-old was killed in November 2016.

A jury at Glasgow High Court earlier heard how Mr Johnston was near the scene of a possible shooting months before his death.

Anthony Ruthven and David Scott – both 33 – deny murdering him in the city's Kinning Park.

Mr Johnston's friend Sharon Gall was giving evidence.

The 39 year-old broke down in tears when she was shown a photo of the dad.

She went on to tell jurors: “I was one of the last people to speak with him.”

The court heard of a statement Miss Gall gave to police around a week after his death.

Miss Gall said to officers: “As far as I know Euan Johnston had no enemies...not a bad word to say about Euan.”

The jury was also told of a time in August 2016 when Miss Gall was at her home in Springburn with others including Mr Johnston.

She remembered her then partner Craig Shaw having a cut eye and Gary Bradburn – an ex-lover – driving a van at a Jeep.

Prosecutor Alex Prentice QC asked: “So, he deliberately drove into the Jeep – then you heard a noise after the collision?”

Miss Gall: “Popping noises.”

Mr Prentice: “Where was EJ at the time of the popping noises?”

She replied: “At the bottom of the garden...cannot remember where he was.”

She was asked what she done afterwards – but Miss Gall said: “Nothing I could do...did not know who it was.”

Mr Prentice said there “appears to be shots fired” in what he described as a “dangerous and alarming” situation.

But, he added Miss Gall had not given a “full account” to officers.

The trial, before Judge Lady Stacey, continues.
