Police quiz motorists after murder

Around 1000 people were quizzed today during a major roadblock operation as detectives continued their hunt for the killer of a man gunned down on his doorstep.

More than 30 police officers stopped early morning commuters exactly one week on from the murder of Brian Harkins, in Rutherglen, South Lanarkshire.

Police revealed they had narrowed down the key period when the gunman struck, and are focusing on a time frame of between 7am and 9am last Wednesday.
