Sentence on Ian Murray, the motorcycle dealer who admitted deliberately setting fire to his showroom in Edinburgh, has been deferred for another month. Murray had pleaded guilty at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on 6 March to deliberately setting fire to the building at Bilston Glen Industrial Estate, in Edinburgh, destroying 15 motorcycles and causing damage of around £50,000.
Sentence had been deferred until 3 April for background reports. This week the case was deferred again until 8 May.
The business was just one of two Royal Enfield franchises in Scotland, sold Watsonian sidecars and second hand bikes, and had been operating as an independent, satellite Ducati Service Centre on behalf of Ducati Glasgow, although there was no connection between the two businesses.
The blaze occurred on 22 October, 2017.
