Horror as dad-of-three Craig is knifed to death
trying to come to terms with their loss.
Amy Wilcox, sister of Craig’s heartbroken girlfriend Stacey, posted a tribute online. She wrote: “Such a brilliant daddy to three gorgeous boys and an amazing boyfriend to my sister.
“We love and miss you so much. My sister is being so strong, her three boys will take care of her.”
Another shocked woman added: “Such a lovely guy, such a tragedy.
“My thoughts go out to his girlfriend and three lovely boys.”
Stunned friends, family and members of the community left floral tributes at the scene yesterday afternoon.
Meanwhile, murder squad detectives made a public appeal for information to track down the “despicable” knife thug who killed Craig.
Cops added that a post mortem examination was due to take place to establish the exact cause of death.
Extensive enquiries were underway in the streets surrounding Tweed Avenue, with officers examining CCTV footage as well as conducting door to door enquiries.
Detective Superintendent Allan Burton from Police Scotland’s Major Investigation Team told the Paisley Daily Express: “A man has died following a violent attack which took place in the middle of the street and it is absolutely imperative that we trace the despicable individual responsible.
“I would appeal to anyone who was in Tweed Avenue, or the surrounding area, between 10.30pm and 12.30am to please come forward.
“No matter whether you think you have any significant information, let our officers determine that, as you may be able to assist with the investigation.
“Anyone with information is asked to contact officers at Police Scotland’s Major Investigation Teams via 101.”
