Two men to strand trial accused of shooting Motherwell dad dead
Jordan Gray was found dead in December last year.
Two suspects will stand trial accused of murdering Jordan Gray in Motherwell last year by shooting him.
Robert Clark, 59, and Nathan Gordon, 31, allegedly assaulted the 26-year-old on December 14 2025.
Court papers claim that they repeatedly discharged a firearm at him as well as shot him on the body.
The charge states that the pair had previous malice and ill-will towards Mr Gray.
A separate charge says that Clark had a firearm and ammunition without lawful authority or a reasonable excuse on the same day.
A third allegation says that Clark and Gordon attempted to defeat the ends of justice on December 14 and December 15 2025.
It is alleged that they disposed of the firearm and concealed their involvement to remove, conceal and destroy evidence.
Donald Findlay KC, defending Clark, pleaded not guilty on his client's behalf.
The advocate said: "It is a straight forward matter, the Crown have got the wrong person."
Graeme Brown, defending Gordon, also pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutor Kath Harper stated that at present "there is little that can be agreed."
Judge Lord Matthews set a trial for October 2027 at the High Court in Glasgow.
