A 28-year-old man has been charged with the murder of a schoolboy in Glasgow.

The body of eight-year-old Mark Cummings was found at a block of flats in Charles Street, in the Royston area of the city on Friday night.

The schoolboy, who had been out playing football with friends in the area, was reported missing by his mother at about 1940 BST.
