A 17-year-old boy has appeared in court charged with the murder of Coatbridge teenager Daryll Wright.
The 19-year-old was allegedly attacked near Kilwinning's Ladyford Avenue at around 2.30am on May 22 before being rushed to Crosshouse Hospital.
Despite the best efforts of medics, Daryll, affectionately known as Dee, tragically passed away just two days later leaving family and friends devastated.
A major police probe was launched by detectives which saw a 17-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, arrested and charged.
He was initially accused of attempted murder but this has now been amended to a charge of murder.
The boy appeared at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court on June 3 where he made no plea before being released on bail, the Irvine Times reports.
He is due to return to court at a later date.
We previously told how heartbroken pals had launched a fundraising page to help give Darryll ‘the best send off he deserves’.
More than £1,300 has been raised so far while a balloon release memorial was held on May 30.
