Murder trial against Aberdeen bouncer further adjourned until tomorrow

Craig Grant died outside Aberdeen bar Tonik

Evidence will resume tomorrow in the trial against an Aberdeen bouncer accused of murdering a north-east dad.

Jonas Marcius is accused of killing 26-year-old Craig Grant outside Tonik on the city’s Bon Accord Street between August 8 and 9 last year.

Marcius, 23, was originally on trial with two other men, Adrian Morley and Kiel Hauley.

However they were both cleared of murder on Monday after the Crown dropped the charge against Mr Morley and Hauley pled guilty to a lesser charge of assaulting Mr Grant by repeatedly attempting to punch him.

As a result the trial was adjourned and was scheduled to resume again this afternoon to allow time for statements to be taken from the former co-accused.

However the High Court in Aberdeen heard that there had been difficulties in ensuring both statements were taken and disclosed to Marcius’ defence counsel, Mark Stewart QC, in time for evidence to be led again today.

The jury, of 10 women and five men, have been told to come back for 10am tomorrow morning in order for the case to resume.

The court heard it is expected that Hauley and Morley, both 33, will take to the witness stand tomorrow to give their account of what happened the night Mr Grant died.

Marcius is accused of murdering Mr Grant. It is alleged he seized him by the neck and forced him to the ground, striking him on the head and body before placing him in a choke hold and compressing his neck.

He pleads not guilty to the charge and his counsel, Mr Stewart, has lodged a special defence of self defence.

Sentence on Hauley has been deferred until Friday and his bail has been continued.
