Age: 46

Sex: male

Date: 17 Feb 2017

Place: 5 Stonebank Grove, Castlemilk, Glasgow

John Cameron was beaten to death with a hammer at his home in Castlemilk around 16 February 2017.

A 57-year-old man was arrested for his murder on 20 February 2017 and sent for trial but no further details are known.

He was said to have hit him with a hammer and stamped on his body, killing him. He was also accused of stealing drugs and money from John Cameron's home. He was also said to have assaulted a woman and to have told her that he would kill her and her children if she said anything to the authorities. He was also said to have disposed of clothing and footwear following the murder. He was also charged with supplying and possessing heroin on 16 and 17 February 2017.

John Cameron's body was found by his wife about 18 hours after neighbours had heard a row or fight coming from his house at about 2.15pm on Friday 17 February 2017.

John Cameron was married but separated and had two children. His wife went to see him after she became concerned about his whereabouts.

After discovering his body on 17 February 2017 the police said that they were trying to trace his movements over the previous few days. They said, 'A man has died following a brutal and violent attack within his own home. It is absolutely imperative that we trace whoever is responsible as soon as possible. From our enquiries so far, we understand that there may have been a disturbance within the property the previous night and I would appeal to anyone with information to come forward. If you were in Stonebank Grove or the surrounding area on the evening of Thursday February 16, particularly between 9pm and 11.30pm and saw anything suspicious please get in touch. No matter how insignificant you think your information may be, let us be the judge of that, as it could prove to be vital in helping us find the person responsible for this horrific crime'.

The 57-year-old man denied all the charges against him and there are no more details regarding the trial which was said to have been arranged for September 2017 at the High Court in Edinburgh.
