She is due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Wednesday.

It comes after a 32-year-old man and 25-year-old woman were charged in connection with the incident.

The pair appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Monday charged with murder as well as the assault and attempted murder of the second man.

Both made no plea and were remanded in custody and are expected to appear in court in the next eight days.

In videos posted just hours before his death on social media, Webley urged his enemies to “come and get it”.

He was previously convicted of taking part in a gangland shooting in 2005 and spent 11 years behind bars.

Webley was also cleared of two attempted murders in the capital back in 2022.
