A suspect will stand trial accused of killing a man who died in hospital.
Leon Beagan, 28, is charged with assaulting Andrew Lees, 27, on 5th November 2023.
The fatal attack is said to have occurred at the car park of Renfrew Leisure Centre and the town’s Newmains Road.
It is claimed Mr Lees was repeatedly pushed and punched as well as struck on the head, neck and body.
In addition to the culpable homicide charge, Beagan – who also uses the name Gibson – is accused of behaving in a threatening and abusive manner.
He is separately said to have attempted to defeat the ends of justice by removing and washing items of clothing worn during the alleged killing.
Gibson’s legal team pleaded not guilty on his behalf during a hearing at the High Court in Glasgow today.
Lord Mulholland fixed a trial which is scheduled to start in April 2026.
Beagan, of Paisley, Renfrewshire, remains on bail in the meantime.
