A woman who is accused of killing her sister allegedly admitted the murder to a neighbour.

Lynette Greenop is on trial at the High Court in Glasgow accused of killing 46-year-old Sharon Greenop at her home in Troon, Ayrshire.

During the trial on Thursday the jury heard that Lynette had told her former neighbour Martin Hamilton that she was guilty.

Mr Hamilton, who stayed next to the accused in South Ayrshire, told the court that he had discovered court documents relating to the charges during a short stay in Lynette's flat.

After confronting her about the accusations and asking 40-year-old Lynette if she had "murdered her sister" the 39-year-old claims she replied by saying "Aye, I did... aye, I did it."

Lynette's QC Frances McMenamin told the court her client denies admitting anything to Mr Hamilton.

The victim's daughter Shayla Greenop is also accused of acting alongside her aunt in her mother's murder which took place in 2016.

The murder charge alleges Sharon was assaulted on various occasions between September 8 and November 10, had her neck compressed and was repeatedly struck with an "object or objects".

It is said that injuries were also inflicted "by means unknown" and that there was a failure to obtain medical help.

Both accused deny all charges and the trial continues.
