The High Court in Edinburgh.
The High Court in Edinburgh.

Jurors deliberating on the prosecution of two men accused of attacking a group of motorcyclists have been sent home for the weekend.

Judge Lady Scott told the jury in the case of Ian Ewing, 44, and Patrick Noble, 52, to “relax” after failing to reach a verdict yesterday afternoon.

The two men are standing trial on allegations that they participated in an alleged attack which took place on September 8 2018 on the A98 road near Cullen, Moray.

Lady Scott told the jurors they could go home and resume deliberations on Monday.

Mr Ewing, of Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, and Mr Noble, of Aberdeen, deny charges of attempted murder and assault to severe injury and assault to the danger of life.

Prosecutors claim that on September 8 2018 at the A98 Fochabers to Banff road at Cullen, Moray, the two men assaulted Colin Sutherland, drove a car at him, then repeatedly struck him with a claw hammer, a tyre iron and a baseball bat before repeatedly kicking him on the body.

It’s claimed they then cut Mr Sutherland’s clothing with a knife and that they attempted to murder him.

Prosecutors also claim that they also assaulted John Sutherland to his “severe injury and permanent disfigurement”, Edward Forrest to his “severe injury, permanent disfigurement, and to the danger” of his life. and Nicky Syratt to his “injury and danger” of his life.

The two men have pleaded not guilty to all charges.
