POLICE enquiries are continuing after a man was found dead within a Renfrewshire home.
The body of a 42-year-old man was discovered in Greenend Avenue, Johnstone on Saturday, February 25 at 10.45am.
A post mortem examination will take place later today to establish the exact cause of death however police are treating the death as suspicious at this time.
Detective Inspector Mark Henderson of Police Scotland’s Major Investigation Team said: "The 42-year-old man was found with significant injuries and as such extensive police enquiries are ongoing to establish how he came about these injuries.
"We believe that there was a disturbance at the house around 12.50am on Saturday, February 25 when a person or persons came to the door and I appeal to anyone who may have heard anything at this time or anyone who saw anyone hanging around Greenend Avenue to contact police at Govan via telephone number 101.”
Alternatively calls can be made to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where anonymity can be maintained
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
