Details of Incident

We are appealing for information regarding the murder of Brian Gough who was attacked in Saracen Street, Possil, Glasgow at around 5pm on Saturday, 18 May, 2024.

Emergency services attended and he was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital where he later died.

DCI Graham McCreadie: “Our thoughts are with Brian’s family and friends at this very difficult time, and we will continue to support them as our enquiries continue.


“Following a post mortem examination, Brian’s death is being treated as murder and extensive enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances.

“We are still keen to trace two men. The first man is described as white, in his 30s, wearing a light blue top and black shorts. The second man is white, also in his 30s and wearing a white top with black shorts and back trainers.

“I would again ask anyone who was in the area at the time and saw anything they believe may assist our enquiries to get in touch. If you have dash cam footage, private CCTV or doorbell footage, please let us now. You may have captured something that can assist us.
