Fourth man in court in connection with Willowbrae murder

Police Scotland have confirmed that a 25-year-old man will appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court today  in connection with the murder of Mohammed Abdi  who was found seriously injured in the Willowbrae area of the city around 1.00am May 26, 2013.

Police initially believed they were responding to a traffic accident when they were called to Abercorn Avenue, but on their arrival, officers found Mr Abdi lying beside a VW people carrier which had crashed into a set of railings.

Enquiries subsequently established that Mr Abdi from Leith had been shot multiple times. He was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary where he later died.

An hour later, another man was found bleeding heavily on nearby Paisley Crescent.

To date  Cadil Huseen, 22, Ahmed Hussain Ahmed, 27, and Mohamud Mohamud, 29, have all previously appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court  charged with murder and were remanded in custody.
