A MURDER bid accused Greenock woman who was freed on bail last year has twice breached the conditions of her custody release order.

Caroline McIntosh — charged with trying to kill a man in an alleged doorstep attack — failed on two occasions to register at the town's police office.

A sheriff stipulated the requirement, among other restrictions on her, at a custody hearing last year in order that officers could keep tabs on her.

McIntosh, of Nelson Street, appeared at the sheriff court on September 30 last year charged with and assaulting a man to severe injury and danger of life.

Prosecutors say that she attempted to murder the alleged victim during an incident at a house on Florence Street.

The Telegraph told previously how detectives had been looking for three women in relation to what was described as a 'vicious' assault on a 31-year-old man.

Police said that a man was within a property with two other people when he answered the door at around 10.30pm on September 28 last year.

He was said to have been found with 'significant' injuries to his body.

Detective Inspector David Wagstaff said at the time: "The man went to the door and was struck on his head with a blunt implement, and then viciously attacked with a sharp implement."

The man was rushed to Inverclyde Royal Hospital.

McIntosh — who is also on a 7pm to 7am curfew and must also stay away from three named people — breached her bail order just a week after it was granted, and flouted it again last month.

She appeared in court to plead guilty to the offences.

Sheriff David Hall admonished her for the first breach and deferred sentence on her to be of good behaviour on the other until September 8.

The Crown Office confirmed the attempted murder case remains live.

A date for McIntosh's next court appearance on that matter is to be be confirmed.
