The mother of a man who was brutally murdered has made an emotional appeal for information on the second anniversary of her sons death.
In April 2019, 33-year-old Tony Ferns was viciously attacked in Thornliebank and died in front of his mum, Phyllis Ferns.
He was in his Audi A3 on Crebar Street when a man approached and assaulted him. Tony managed to make it home with serious injuries to Roukenburn Street.
Paramedics fought to save his life but their attempts were in vain as Tony died with Phyllis watching on.
Today marks two years since Tony's murder and Phyllis has begged anyone with information to come forward so she can get the closure she needs.
She said: “I cannot believe it is now two years since my son Tony was brutally murdered and taken away from me forever.
"My life is on hold. I have not been able to move on or accept the fact I won’t see my boy again.
“I need closure. I need the person or persons responsible to be prosecuted. I appeal and plead with anyone who has any information to contact police or Crimestoppers.”
Detective Chief Inspector Gillian Grant, who is now leading the enquiry, added: “Two years have passed since this incident and I am determined to find whoever is responsible for Tony’s murder.
"It’s clear he was a much loved son and partner and is deeply missed by his family.
“Phyllis had to watch her son, Tony, suffer and die, something no mother should have to go through.
"Put yourself in her shoes and think how she must feel, does she not deserve to know why her son was murdered and taken from her?
"Please help us find answers for a mother who deserves to know the truth.”
There is currently a £10,000 reward for any information which assists the investigation.
Anyone with information is being urged to contact police on 101, quoting incident number 4732 of 18 April 2019.
Crimestoppers can be phoned anonymously on 0800 555 111.
