Sentencing is due next month after prosecutors recorded an organised-crime aggravation.

Overview

  • The 34-year-old also pleaded guilty to the attempted murder of Stewart Pearson during the same incident.
  • Webley was shot at the Anchor Inn in Granton just before midnight on New Year's Eve 2023 and died in hospital on January 1, 2024.
  • Co-accused Emma McVie, 27, admitted attempting to destroy evidence connected to the case.
  • Gary Robertson, 22, pleaded guilty to attempting to pervert the course of justice.
  • All three were remanded in custody with sentencing deferred until next month, and the indictment states the killing was aggravated by links to serious organised crime.
