Hide AdDeclan Blythe appeared at Hamilton Sheriff Court yesterday (Monday) charged with Mr McMillan’s murder, assault to severe injury, having a bladed item in a public place and attempting to defeat the ends of justice.
Blythe from Glasgow, made no plea during the private hearing, and was remanded in custody pending a further court appearance.
Mr McMillan’s sister Chantelle has set up a JustGiving page to pay for the father-of-one’s funeral.
His family were already in mourning after Mr McMillan’s two-year-old niece Bonnie lost her battle with a rare illness last month, while in March, his older brother Lias passed away.

“Early hours of Sunday morning, the third tragedy to hit our family in such a short few months, our one and only Cameron William McMillan’s life was cut short due to a horrific incident.
“At this time we appreciate all help which will go towards our Cameron’s funeral, and give our Cammy a send off he well and truly deserves.”
