Murder detectives issue fresh appeal after body found in flat Police Scotland

Murder detectives have issued a fresh appeal two weeks after a man was found dead in his Glasgow flat.

The body of Craig Shaw, 45, was discovered at his property on Jedworth Road, Drumchapel, at 5.55pm on Thursday, April 22.

Officers previously appealed for any details to piece together Mr Shaw’s last known movements. He was last seen entering his block of flats around 7.25pm on Wednesday, April 21. 

When Mr Shaw’s friends couldn’t get in contact with him the following day they went to his home where his body was discovered. 

Officers are now re-appealing for information after a “disappointing” response from the public.

Detective chief inspector Cameron Miller said: “Unfortunately, the response we’ve received so far has been disappointing. 

‘I believe that the answer to this murder lies locally and I am again appealing to the local community for any information they can provide.’

“I believe that the answer to this murder lies locally and I am again appealing to the local community for any information they can provide. 

“Craig was very much a creature of habit and didn’t venture far from his home address. 

“This is a busy area and I’m convinced that people will have significant information that will move this inquiry forward, but for whatever reason, they have not yet come forward to speak to us. 

“Please do the right thing and contact us as soon as possible.

“Craig’s family and friends are devastated by his death and the team of officers dedicated to this investigation are determined to trace whoever is involved.   

“They are also keen to speak to anyone who visited the block at 6 Jedworth Road on Wednesday, April 21, who has not yet been in contact. 

“Any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, can be passed to officers by phoning 101 quoting reference 2750 of April 22. Alternatively, phone Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained.”
