The trial of a murder suspect who denies shooting a young dad to death will hear evidence from beyond the grave, a court heard.
Jordan Owen, also known as Owens, will be tried by a jury at Glasgow High Court on February 21 next year.
The trial is expected to last eight to 10 days.
He is accused of gunning down and killing Jamie Lee, 23, in a playpark near Ballantay Terrace in the city’s Castlemilk area on July 8, 2017.
Prosecutors claim Owen, 27, did “discharge a firearm” and that Jamie was struck on the body with a “projectile”.
Owen – who will plead not guilty – faces two separate charges of attempting to murder Joseph Lee and Jordan Loughery at the same place by also shooting at them during the same incident.
Advocate depute Lyndsey Dalziel said: “There are statements from the deceased.
"There are also statements from another witness now deceased.”
