Police to review stabbing death

THE Solicitor General has asked Strathclyde Police to launch a new inquiry into the death of a man who died from a stab wound after a row with his partner.

An independent review published in July found serious failings in the initial investigation into Colin Marr's death in July 2007 by Fife Constabulary.

Former senior CID officer David Swindle said in his report that Mr Marr's death was suspicious and should have been treated as such.
