Arrest made after Scottish man found dead in block of flats

A SUSPECT has been arrested after a man died from injuries in a communal area of a block of flats.

Police were called after receiving reports of an injured man in a common close in Renfield Street in Renfrew, Renfrewshire, at around 3am on Monday.

Alastair Campbell, 52 (below), was pronounced dead at the scene.

A 35-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the death and has been released pending further enquiries.

Det Ch Insp Graham McCreadie, from Police Scotland's Major Investigation Team, said previously: "Our thoughts are with Alastair's family and friends at this very difficult time. We'll continue to support them throughout our inquiries.

"It's vital we find out exactly what happened to Alastair, and I'm appealing to the public for help to do that.

"I would urge anyone who was in the area at the time and saw anything they believe may assist our investigation to get in touch. If you have dash cam footage, private CCTV or doorbell footage, please bring it to our attention."
