A teenager has appeared in court accused of murdering a 20-year-old man in his home by repeatedly stabbing him.

Caleb Ferguson, 18, appeared briefly in private at Perth Sheriff Court to face a petition alleging he murdered Cameron Rae on Saturday.

Prosecutors allege Mr Ferguson repeatedly struck Mr Rae on the body with a knife in a city centre flat in South Methven Street.

He made no plea and was remanded in custody.

He faces a second charge alleging that he and another person assaulted two unknown people by repeatedly punching and kicking them on the head and body.

Officers were called to a report of a man being seriously injured in South Methven Street at around 21:40 on Saturday.

Mr Rae, who was from the local area, died a short time later.

A 17-year-old man was also arrested but he has been released pending further inquiries.
