Two people have been arrested and charged in connection with the shooting of a man at a pub in Edinburgh.

Marc Webley was killed just before midnight on Hogmanay outside the Anchor Inn in Granton.

The 38-year-old posted a series of videos online daring his enemies to come and get him before the shooting.

A 32-year-old man and 25-year-old woman have now been charged over the incident.

Police were called to the pub in Granton Crescent at about 23:50 on 31 December.

A 39-year-old man was also injured and taken to hospital for treatment.

Officers later said a red Hyundai Tucson pulled up beside the men on West Granton Road before the "isolated targeted attack".

The driver is thought to have got out and fired the gun before getting back in and heading in the direction of Leith.

Mr Webley had a history of involvement in gangland violence and was sentenced to 11 years in prison for attempted murder in 2005.

He shot another man in what was described as a failed gangland hit at the age of 19.

Det Supt Graham Grant, from Police Scotland's major investigation team, said inquiries were ongoing and that an "increased police presence" would remain in the area until further notice.
