Lord Advocate to lead case
SCOTLAND'S top prosecutor is to conduct the case against the man accused of murdering a businesswoman whose body was found in a city park, the Crown Office confirmed yesterday.
Elish Angiolini, the Lord Advocate, will lead the prosecution in the Moira Jones murder trial.
Ms Jones, 40, was discovered by a ranger in Queens Park, Glasgow, on 29 May.
Marek Harcar, 32, from Slovakia, appeared in private at Glasgow Sheriff Court on 17 July charged with her murder and with attempting to defeat the ends of justice.
Harcar was detained in Slovakia after a European Arrest Warrant was obtained, and was extradited to Scotland in July.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for next month.
Ms Jones, a sales executive, was originally from Staffordshire but had lived in Glasgow for five years.
