一名男子否认在邓迪街头对一名科学家实施种族加重谋杀。凯勒·拉特雷,21岁,被指控于去年7月在南街袭击福琴·戈莫博士。
A man has denied the racially-aggravated murder of a scientist on a Dundee street. Kyler Rattray, 21, is accused of attacking Dr Fortune Gomo in South Street in July last year.
检方指控这名39岁的学者多次被刀刺击身体,且该攻击因与种族、肤色、国籍或民族有关的偏见而从重处罚。
Prosecutors allege the 39-year-old academic was repeatedly struck on the body with a knife and that the attack was aggravated by prejudice relating to race, colour nationality or ethnicity.
审判定于2028年1月5日在邓迪高等法院开始,预计将持续八天。拉特雷还面临另一项非法持有刀具在公共场所的指控。此案此前曾在格拉斯哥高等法院进行过虚拟听证。
The trial is due to begin on 5 January 2028 at the High Court in Dundee and is expected to last eight days. Rattray also faces a separate charge of illegally having a knife in a public place. The case called at a virtual hearing at the High Court in Glasgow earlier.
