Police investigating the murder of a man are searching drains in South Lanarkshire.

James Murray, 24, was found dead in a house on Holyrood Street in Hamilton.

Alan Richardson appeared in court charged with his murder in February.

The 23-year-old was remanded in custody.

Now forensic officers are searching drains more than two miles away on Glasgow Road in Blantyre as part of their investigation.

Mr Murray, who has a young child, is said to have been the victim of a "prolonged and vicious" attack.
