Two men have appeared in court in connection with Liam Aitchison’s deathThe funeral of murdered teenager Western Isles Liam Aitchison has been delayed for two days due to a storm on the west coast.
Family and friends were due to gather at St Peter church in Daliburgh, South Uist, on Wednesday for a service.
This was to be followed by a funeral procession to Hallan Cemetery.
The arrival of Liam’s body from the post-mortem examination in Inverness has been held up by the cancellation of ferry sailings to South Uist from Oban.
The 16-year-old is believed to be the first murder victim in the Western Isles for more than 40 years.
He was found dead in a derelict building in the Steinish area of Lewis last month.
Two men from Lewis have appeared in court charged with Liam’s murder.
