Police are combing a crime scene in Glasgow as they hunt a scar-faced man who stabbed a pensioner to death.
Officers are looking over Tobago Place and Green Street where the victim 76-year-old John Baker lived.
Police could be seen probing stanks and large areas of grass with search equipment as their investigations continued today.
Mr Baker was targeted after a robbery in the city centre on Wednesday at around 12:25am.
He was stabbed after he was robbed on Abercromby Street where it meets Stevenson Street.
He collapsed in the street after the attack and three members of the public came to his aid.
Police and an ambulance were called before the victim was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he later died.
He was the third victim of a man who had robbed a 25-year-old woman and attempted to rob a 53-year-old woman hours earlier.
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.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
