The arrest comes after we reported yesterday that two men had been jailed for 24 years for the murder of the security guard. 

Scott Pearson, 22, and Ryan Hunter, 28, were sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow yesterday.

Pearson was locked up for a minimum 18 years after he was convicted of murdering the dad-of-four at a Taylor Wimpey building site.

Hunter was sentenced to six years after he pled guilty to the reduced charge of culpable homicide.
