Police praise murder inquiry response

Police say they are delighted with the response they received when they stopped motorists close to where a man was murdered in a “brutal and violent attack” last week.

More than 500 cars were stopped and 170 questionnaires completed on Wednesday night in Knightswood, Glasgow, as detectives continue to investigate the murder of Jamie Kerr, 34, who was found after a fire in his flat on Lincoln Avenue at about 11:55pm last week.

Strathclyde Police are treating his death as murder following a post-mortem examination.
