Policesay man died after fight at party

A MAN died after a fight at a house party, detectives believe.

The body of the 42-year-old was discovered in the property in Johnstone at the weekend with “significant injuries”.

It comes after police said there had been a “disturbance” at a party in the property in the Renfrewshire town’s Greenend Avenue sometime late at night on Friday or into the early hours of Saturday.

Police said the death was being treated as suspicious and a post-mortem examination was to be carried out.

Detective Inspector Mark Henderson of Police Scotland’s Major Investigation Team said: “The 42-year-old man was found with significant injuries and as such extensive police inquiries are ongoing to establish how he came about these injuries.

“We believe that there was a disturbance at the house around 12.50am on Saturday 25 February when a person or persons came to the door.

“I appeal to anyone who may have heard anything at this time or anyone who saw anyone hanging around Greenend Avenue to contact police at Govan via telephone number 101.”

Meanwhile, a woman has been charged in connection with the sudden death of a man in Perth.

Douglas Anderson, 39, was pronounced dead at a home in the Dunnock Park area on Saturday after emergency services were called to the address.

A 36-year-old local woman is due to appear Perth Sheriff Court today.
