£5000 reward to capture fugitive suspect in brutal pub slaying 14 years ago
A REWARD is being offered for the whereabouts of a missing murder suspect who is one of Scotland’s
most-wanted fugitives.
Barman Thomas “Tam” Cameron, 49, was shot dead in 2007 in the car park of the Auchinairn Tavern in Bishopbriggs, near Glasgow, where he worked. On the 14th anniversary of the killing, police have released photos of suspect Derek McGraw Ferguson, including a photo of the fugitive from the time and computer-generated images of what he may look like now. A global manhunt was launched after the dad of three’s death, with Ferguson believed to have fled abroad. Officers suspect he has travelled between Ireland, Portugal, Holland, Turkey and Spain under an assumed name, and think he may now be based in Spain among criminal associates. Police have previously said that the 57-yearold from Possil, Glasgow was bald, with green or blue eyes and is 5ft 1in. He also had tattoos of an arrow and heart design with a dagger, while part of his left ear was missing. He has used an Irish accent in the past. Crimestoppers are offering rewards of £5000 to anyone who is able to provide information that leads to his arrest. Detective Superintendent John Wyllie, who is leading the investigation, said: “I am continuing to appeal for anyone who has any knowledge of Ferguson’s whereabouts to get in touch with any information which could help us trace him. “If you know Derek Ferguson or have any information which will help us locate him, please come forward. “Any information, no matter how basic it might seem, may be of significant assistance. If you are unsure whether information you know will assist our inquiries, please just share it with us.” Witnesses are asked to contact Police Scotland by calling 101 or can give information anonymously to Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111.
