Detectives investigating the murder of a Drumchapel man has called the public's response to the probe "disappointing".

Detective Chief Inspector Cameron Miller, from the major investigation team, said the vital clues in the murder of Craig Shaw are being held back by people in the community for "whatever reason".

He called on people in the area to "do the right thing" and hand over information that would lead to the capture of Craig's killers. 

DCI Miller said: “Unfortunately, the response we’ve received so far has been disappointing. I believe that the answer to this murder lies locally and I am again appealing to the local community for any information they can provide. 

"Craig was very much a creature of habit and didn’t venture far from his home address. This is a busy area and I’m convinced that people will have significant information that will move this inquiry forward, but for whatever reason, they have not yet come forward to speak to us.

"Please do the right thing and contact us as soon as possible.
