A man has appeared in court charged with murdering a woman and attempting to murder her son.

Alyson Watt, 52, was found dead at her home on Penilee Road in the Ralston area of Paisley on Friday.

Gary Brown was later arrested in connection with Ms Watt's death and the alleged attempted murder of her 16-year-old son.

Brown, of Glasgow, made no plea or declaration during the private hearing at Paisley Sheriff Court on Thursday and was committed for further examination.

The 54-year-old was remanded in custody and is expected to appear in court at a later date.
