Cops launch murderhunt
A MURDER probe has been launched after a man was found dead in flats in Crookston.
Thirty-six-year-old Kirk Cole was discovered in a flat in Cairnhill Drive.
Police said Mr Cole was found at 9.15am on Thursday and a post mortem examination was held yesterday, prompting officers to treat his death as murder.
Relatives are aware and a report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.
Detective Chief Inspector Alan McAlpine said: “Officers are currently reviewing CCTV and carrying out door-to-door enquiries. Our initial enquiries have revealed that Mr Cole was with a friend within a flat in Cairnhill Drive from around 9pm on Wednesday.
“We also believe that at least one person, possibly more, arrived at the flat during that night and into the early hours of the morning.
“Early indications suggest that there may have been a disturbance at the flat during the night and therefore it is vital that anyone who was with Mr Cole since 9pm on Wednesday until the early hours of Thursday morning contact police immediately.
“A police incident caravan will remain at the scene.”
