Ronnie Coulter faces retrial over Surjit Singh Chhokar murder | Ronnie Coulter faces retrial over Surjit Singh Chhokar murder |
(35 minutes later) | |
Three high court judges have granted prosecutors permission to retry one man accused of murdering the Lanarkshire waiter Surjit Singh Chhokar. | |
They said 46-year-old Ronnie Coulter could be re-prosecuted under double jeopardy legislation. | |
They ruled that two other men, Andrew Coulter, 33, and David Montgomery, 37, cannot face trial for a second time. | |
All three men were previously cleared of murdering Mr Chhokar, 32, in Overtown, North Lanarkshire, in 1998. | |
The ruling followed a hearing at the High Court in Edinburgh earlier this month before judges Lord Carloway, Lady Dorrian and Lord Malcolm. |
