The family of a man found dead in a flat in Yoker have launched a fundraising appeal to cover funeral costs.

A murder inquiry was launched last month after 43-year-old Steven Savage was discovered in a flat in Halley Place on September 17.

A 59-year-old man later appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court charged in connection with the death.

Now, his devastated sister Susanne has appealed for help as they plan to finally lay him to rest.

She set up a GoFundMe, which has so far hit around £300 of the £900 target.

It reads: "After six weeks we are getting round to funeral arrangements for my brother Steven Savage, they are hopefully releasing him within the next week.

"We have made arrangements with Alex Black (Dyke Road) but unfortunately there is cremation fees and and flowers to pay for before they can go ahead with this.

"Steven was well known in the yoker area, and after his passing everyone has said how he was a good friend.

"Thanks for all your support and cards over the weeks".
