Glasgow Murder Probe After 82-Year-Old's Death
Police in Glasgow have launched a murder investigation after an 82-year-old woman was found injured and died at the scene on a street in the city's east end early Saturday morning. Elizabeth Colligan was discovered on Cardowan Road in the Carntyne area around 4 a.m. on April 18 and was pronounced dead despite efforts by emergency services.
Authorities are treating the death as suspicious and have issued an urgent public appeal to help locate a 30-year-old man last seen in the same area at the time of the incident. Grant McKinnon, described as white, 6 feet tall, of slim build and with a shaved head, was wearing a black jacket with a red hood or red hood lining and blue jeans when last spotted. Police have classified him as dangerous and instructed anyone who sees him to call 999 immediately without approaching.
Detective Inspector Gordon Walker, leading the investigation, said officers received a report of an injured woman and attended the scene alongside emergency responders. "Her death is being treated as suspicious and an investigation is underway," Walker stated. "Additional officers are on patrol in the area and anyone with concerns can approach them."
