Fury as Paige shop to go on the market

-

Paige was killed in March.

The Delicious Deli takeaway, where Paige was killed by evil John Leathem, has been closed since her death in March.

“How e v e r, it would appear that around 10pm, she left her home again.”

Her family say it is unusual for Ms McQueen to not make contact.

Ins Ritchie added: “Every morning, Janet usually goes to f ro m her home in Langside Road to the Sir John Stirling Maxwell pub in Kilmarnock Road, Shawlands, for a cup of coffee and cake, and sometimes later in the afternoon, the James Tassie public house, but she hasn’t been seen in either recently.

“I would appeal to anyone who knows Janet, or who may have seen her since Tuesday, to call officers at Cathcart Police Office on 101.”
