THE heartbroken mother of a young man whose killer is still on the loose has said she misses him everyday.

Jackie Wilson spoke of her son Billyjoe Bates as cops revealed they are still looking for the person responsible for his murder one month on.

The 28-year-old was found seriously injured in Milton's Ashfield Street at its junction with Kippen Street at around 2.30pm on Sunday, November 18.

He was taken to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he later died in the early hours of Thursday, November 22.

Jackie said: “Billyjoe was my youngest son and I miss him terribly every day.

“He had his whole life ahead of him and it’s devastating to know that I will never see him again.

“I don’t know how our family will ever get over this and the thought of spending Christmas without Billyjoe is very upsetting.

“Our family need to know what happened and why so please, if you know anything at all, come forward and tell the police.”

Police Scotland said extensive enquiries are ongoing to trace those responsible for Billyjoe’s death, and provide answers for his family.

Detective Chief Inspector Suzanne Chow, from Police Scotland’s Major Investigations Team, said: "I am appealing for people to come forward with any information which could help us find whoever is responsible for this brutal murder.

“Billyjoe was found seriously injured in a residential street in the middle of the afternoon and I believe that someone must know what happened to him.

“Whether you have information about where Billyjoe was prior to him being found injured, or if you saw or heard anything at all out of the ordinary in the area of Ashfield Street and Kippen Street, please do the right thing and get in touch. The slightest detail could be important and I would urge anyone with information to contact us."
