A man has appeared in court charged with the murder of another man at a Fife flat.
Alex Forbes, 25, died at the scene of the incident in Victoria Road, Kirkcaldy, in the early hours of Monday January 2.
Adrian Hynd, 51, was arrested by police shortly after but appeared at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court a week later.
He was charged with murder at the private appearance on Monday and made no plea or declaration.
The case was committed for further examination and he was remanded in custody ahead of a further court appearance next week.
The family of Forbes, who was from Edinburgh, paid tribute to him in a statement released through Police Scotland last week.
His family said: “Alex was so young and died so tragically. His death has left us utterly shocked and devastated.
“He was loved by his family and everyone who knew him, and we are now trying to come to terms with our loss.”
