Gerbil murder accused is freed on bail - The Daily Record: "MAN accused of the assassination of gangland enforcer Kevin “Gerbil” Carroll was yesterday released on bail.
Ross Monaghan walked out of the High Court in Glasgow and into a waiting silver Audi A4 after a brief pre-trial hearing.
Monaghan, 29, has been held in Barlinnie since he first appeared in court last August.
But yesterday the prosecution revealed “fresh information” meant they were unable to set a trial date.
As a result, Monaghan’s bail application was approved by judge Lady Smith.
The Record understands Monaghan has been granted bail as the Crown want to put him in the dock alongside another suspect, who is currently at large and thought to be in Spain.
A legal source said: “There is a feeling the case will be weakened if Monaghan is tried on his own.”
Monaghan – who denies murder – was ordered to report to Helen Street Police Station, Glasgow, every day before 10am."
