Third person arrested in connection with drive-by Edinburgh Hogmanay shooting

A WOMAN has been arrested in connection with the death of a man in Edinburgh on Hogmanay, police have said.

The woman, 33, is the third person to be arrested in connection with the death of Marc Webley, 38.

He was allegedly shot outside the Anchor Inn pub on Granton Crescent in the Granton area of the capital on December 31 at about 11.50pm.

Webley was taken to hospital with a 39-year-old man but died a short time later.

Two people, Grant Hunter, 32, and Emma McVie, 25, from Edinburgh, appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court accused of murder on Monday.

They were also accused of attempted murder and assault to severe injury and danger of life.

They made no plea and were remanded in custody ahead of a further court date.

In a statement on Tuesday, Police Scotland said a red Hyundai Tucson pulled up beside the men in West Granton Road.

The driver got out and fired the gun before getting back in and heading towards Leith.

Detectives believe there was at least one other person in the car at the time.

Police said the shooting is an “isolated targeted attack” and that “this type of reckless criminality will not be tolerated”.

Police said the 39-year-old man remains in a serious but stable condition in hospital.
