09.01.2023 - 23:23 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Two women have appeared in court charged with culpable homicide after a security guard died at a Scots department store. Emergency services were called to the scene at Rejects on St Clair Street in Kirkcaldy, Fife, at around 12.20pm on Friday following reports that an employee had ‘fallen unwell’.
A 62-year-old man was pronounced dead a short time later with his death being treated as ‘unexplained’ by investigators. It is understood that he suffered a heart attack after an alleged ‘altercation’.
The Daily Record can reveal that a mother and daughter have now appeared in private at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court after being charged in connection with the death. Teresa Gordon, 57, and Nicola Gordon, 35, of Kirkcaldy, both face a culpable homicide allegation as well as a charge each of theft by shoplifting.
Teresa Gordon faces an additional charge of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner. The case has been submitted for further examination by prosecutors while both women have been released on bail in the meantime.
In a Facebook announcement, the store said they would be closing due to a “bereavement”.
The status read: "Due to bereavement, we will be closed the remainder of today and also tomorrow Saturday January 7th. Apologies for any inconvenience."
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 12.20pm officers were called to a report of a man taking unwell at a premises on St Clair Street, Kirkcaldy.
“Emergency services attended, however the 62-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.
“The death is currently being treated as unexplained and enquiries are ongoing into the circumstances.”
Police Scotland have been contacted for an updated statement.
