Billy Faulds, 31, was seriously injured when he was attacked by “a number of people” at a park in Ruchazie, in Glasgow’s east end, on Saturday night.

Mr Faulds, of Millersneuk Crescent in Millerston, Glasgow, was taken to hospital but died shortly afterwards. It is believed he had been stabbed.

It is understood he was a second cousin of Brian Faulds, 29, who was found dead near Dalmarnock Bridge in Glasgow on 28 September. Three men have appeared in court charged with murder following his death.
