Detectives have launched a murder inquiry following the death of a 38-year-old man in Uddingston on Sunday, 6 October, 2024.

Around 7.35pm, David Graham from Cambuslang was walking alone in General’s Gate when he was attacked.

Police are interested in a silver car which was seen parked near the scene and which then drove off.

Mr Graham was taken by ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow but was pronounced dead on arrival. His relatives are aware.

Following a post-mortem examination the death is being treated as murder.

Detective Chief Inspector Graham McCreadie, Major Investigation Teams West, said: "Our thoughts are with Mr Graham's family and friends at this extremely difficult time.

"A dedicated team of officers are working to get them answers and identify those

responsible.

"We have already spoken to a number of people who came to Mr Graham’s aid until the ambulance arrived and I would like to thank them for their assistance.

"However, I am still keen to speak to anyone else who was in the area at the time, and may have seen or heard anything suspicious. Please get in touch with officers.

“We would also urge any motorists with dashcams who were in General’s Gate or Old Glasgow Road areas on Sunday night to check your footage.

"You may have captured something which could be of significance to our investigation.

"We understand that incidents of this nature can cause concern for the local community but please be assured we are doing everything we can to identify those involved.

"There will be additional patrols in the area as we carry out our enquiries and anyone with any concerns can approach these officers.
