They have denied all charges. Security guard Graham Hutton, 38, told the High Court in Edinburgh that on the day of his death Mr Ireland, who was his supervisor, did not appear unwell. He was asked if shoplifting was a problem at the store at St Clair Street and said the area was “”quite bad for it””. Mr Hutton said that three days before the incident Nicola and Teresa Gordon were seen at the shop with an older woman who was walking with the assistance of a walking frame.

When they returned on 6 January in the company of another woman Mr Hutton was in the security office with Mr Ireland. He said his boss went to apprehend Nicola Gordon after she was seen again putting paint in a bag. He said the accused put up a “”struggle”” but Mr Ireland managed to get the bag with the goods from her. The court was shown footage of the incident.
