Detectives from the Major Investigation Team in Scotland who are investigating the murder of Gaoth Dobhair woman Ann Coll have said they are following a positive line of enquiry.
Ann Coll, 61, was found with serious injuries at a flat on Newfield Place, Rutherglen on Friday, December 22, 2023 and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officers have been carrying out house to house enquiries, tracking down Ann’s final movements and continue to appeal to anyone who has not spoken to police to come forward.
Detective Chief Inspector Lynsey Watters said: “Our thoughts remain with Ann’s loved ones who have been left devastated by her death. As a family they should have enjoyed the festive season together but instead spent it grieving a terrible loss.
“We are fully committed to tracing the person or people responsible as soon as possible and our enquiry team are following a positive line of enquiry.
“We truly believe that the answer to this investigation lies within the community, even if you feel the information you hold is insignificant, we would still ask you to come and tell us. It could be the vital piece we need.
“So if you knew Ann, or witnessed anything suspicious or unusual on the evening of Thursday, 21 December, into the early hours on Friday, 22 December, near to Newfield Place, then please contact us.
“Please think back, this area is one of the main routes from Rutherglen to the south side of Glasgow and has several bars and restaurants nearby. It would have been busier than usual due to the time of year. Were you in the area that night?
“Our officers will continue to do everything they can to bring answers for Ann’s family and we continue to provide them with support at this very difficult time.”
