A five-figure cash reward has been offered in return for information on the murder of a man in Milton.

BillyJoe Bates died in hospital four after being found seriously injured on Ashfield Street around 2.30pm on November 18, last year.

Now, two-months on, a £10,000 reward has been offered up for information on the 28-year-old's murder.

Investigations are yet to reveal whether the victim sustained his injuries in the street where he was found, or whether it had occurred in property in the local area.

Angela Parker, from Scotland Crimestoppers said Mr Bates family are "desperate for answers".

She added: "Our charity believes everyone has the right to feel safe from crime wherever they live. We know the circumstances of BillyJoe’s death are unclear and his passing has left friends and family heartbroken. His family are especially devastated and are desperate for answers as to what happened.
