Cops charge third man in connection with death of Billy McGuire in Clydebank

Police have charged a third man in connection with the death of Clydebank man Billy McGuire.

The 26-year-old suspect was originally arrested in January in connection with the young dad’s death.

Billy, 25, was found gravely injured at a house in Perth Crescent on December 21 and was rushed to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

Medics battled to save him but he tragically lost his life a short time later, sparking a major police investigation.

A second man, aged 34, who was also injured during the incident, was described as being in a ‘critical’ condition.

Jordan Morrision, 24, from Glasgow, previously appeared at Dumbarton Sheriff Court where he was charged with murder and attempted murder on January 2.

He made no plea and was remanded in custody.

Later in January the Daily Record told how a second man, aged 25, had also been charged in connection with Billy's death.

Detective Chief Inspector Alan McAlpine, of the Major Investigation Team, said today: “We continue to conduct enquiries into Billy’s death and I would urge anyone who has any information to come forward and speak to police.

“I would also like to thank the community for their assistance with our investigation so far.

“If anyone has any information I would ask that they get in touch with us by calling 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
