A woman will stand trial later this year charged with the murder of a ‘loving’ grandmother.

Claire Kilduff, 38, is accused of killing Ann Coll at a flat in Rutherglen, Lanarkshire on December 21 or 22 2023.

It is claimed Kilduff repeatedly struck the 61-year-old with an “unknown implement or implements” as well as stab her with something “sharp”.

Kilduff is separately alleged to have transferred £320 from the woman’s bank account into her own and also taken a mobile phone.
