Police have appealed for dash-cam and phone footage after three people died following tragic attacks in Kilmarnock last week.
It's believed that NHS cleaner Emma Robertson Coupland, 39, died after being attacked by her ex-partner Steven Robertson at Crosshouse Hospital on Thursday night.
Twenty minutes later, Emma's daughter, Nicole Anderson, 24, died after being stabbed by Robertson on Portland Street.
And at 8.30pm, Robertson, 40, was found dead after his car crashed into a tree on the C50, between the B7036 and A76 near Ochiltree.
Police today confirmed the identities of those who died in the incidents on Thursday night after they were formally identified.
Chief Superintendent Faroque Hussain, local policing commander for Ayrshire Division, said police are now looking for dash-cam or phone footage from the night in question.
Chief Superintendent Hussain said: "As you can imagine, the families of those involved are absolutely devastated and still coming to terms with what has happened. They have requested that they be allowed to grieve privately at this time.
"The investigation into the circumstances surrounding their deaths, which are linked, are ongoing. We are not looking for anyone else as part of the inquiry.
"The local community has been very supportive of our enquiries so far but we are still appealing for information, especially dashcam or mobile phone footage from the car park at University Hospital Crosshouse between 7.30pm and 8pm on the Thursday night.
"We’re also eager for anyone who may have been in the Portland Street area between 7.45pm and 8.15pm, and anyone travelling on the A76 between the Bellfield Interchange and Ochiltree between 7.50pm and 8.45pm, to get in touch.”
