| South Queensferry death: Family pay tribute to Jordan MacKay | |
| (about 4 hours later) | |
| The family of a joiner murdered during an attack in a South Queensferry street have paid tribute to their "handsome, brave boy". | |
| Jordan MacKay was seriously assaulted in The Loan area of the town, north of Edinburgh, in the early hours of Sunday and later died in hospital. | |
| A 46-year-old man and a 36-year-old woman have been charged with the 20-year-old's murder. | |
| They are both due to appear in court later. | |
| Mr MacKay's family said: "Our boy Jordan William MacKay was a born-and-bred Kirkliston lad, a joiner to-trade, with huge talent. | |
| "Jordan was and will continue to be a huge presence in all our lives forever. | |
| "We, his mum, dad and whole family have sat and thought of how to describe Jordan and we came up with a list of words that help us do that. Handsome, hardworking, loveable, witty, charming, loyal, strong-minded but soft-hearted. | |
| "Jordan was taken from us on 13th July 2014, aged 20. We were not ready to lose our perfect boy and words cannot explain the devastation this mindless act of violence has caused us. | |
| "We, his family, ask for privacy at this time to mourn the loss of our handsome brave boy who hung on strong with all his might to the very bitter end." |
