POLICE have set up a specific website for the public to submit information in relation to the murder of a man in Fife.
Mark Deavin, 41, was found injured on Boblingen Way in Glenrothes at 1.40am on Saturday and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police Scotland has set up a website designed specifically to gather information on the circumstances of Deavin’s death.
The man’s family, in a statement released through the force, said: “We are completely devastated by his murder. He was a much loved brother and uncle and will be sorely missed by all.”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
