Detective Inspector Keith Runcie said: “Our thoughts are with Callum’s family and everyone affected by his death.
“Our investigations are ongoing. We believe that the male who was subsequently arrested spoke with a male and female whilst awaiting a train at Troon railway station around midnight on the Saturday, 6 July into Sunday, 7 July, and we would like to speak to these people.
“We would ask that they contact police via telephone number 101 quoting incident number 4300 of 6 July 2024.”
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.
