Knightswood murder probe – Man arrested in connection with 'violent' death of Paul Kelly

A man has been arrested over the death of a man in Knightswood yesterday.

The 46-year-old has been detained as Police Scotland confirm they are treating the death of 50-year-old Paul Kelly as murder following a post-mortem examination.

Emergency services scrambled to Hermitage Avenue after Paul was found seriously injured at around 10am yesterday morning. He died at the scene.

Relatives are aware and a report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.

Detective Inspector Steven Elliot at Govan Police Station said: "A man has lost his life in what I can only describe as a very violent attack.

“We are still trying to establish exactly what happened yesterday in Hermitage Avenue but are keen to speak to anyone who saw a man in the vicinity of Hermitage Avenue around the time Mr Kelly was assaulted. This man is described as white, in his 40’s, around 6ft tall, slim build and was wearing a black jacket and carrying a large orange carrier bag. 

“Anyone who may have seen this man or has any other information that could assist our enquires is asked to contact police at Govan CID via telephone number 101 quoting incident number I314 of 15 June 2019.”

Alternatively calls can be made via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where anonymity can be maintained.
