A MURDER investigation has been launched after a grandfather was killed following a “particularly violent” attack in his own home.
Officers were called to a report of a man injured in a flat in Young Terrace in the Springburn area of Glasgow at around 9.50am on Tuesday.
Emergency services attended and Brian Maley, 52, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police have launched a murder inquiry and appealed for information.
Detective Chief Inspector Stuart Grainger, of Police Scotland’s Major Investigation Team, said: “Brian died as a result of a particularly violent and sustained assault within in his home.
“Brian was a father and grandfather and his family are devastated by what has happened.
“We have a dedicated team of officers dealing with the case, supported by local officers and specialist resources carrying out a detailed search of his home and the local area.
“A high-visibility police presence will be maintained within the local area.
“Officers are currently conducting door-to-door inquiries and reviewing CCTV footage in the area and I urge anyone who was in the vicinity of Young Terrace between 7.30am and 09.50am on Tuesday, February 8 2022 and may have seen any person or persons acting suspiciously to get in touch with police as they may hold valuable information that can assist our inquiries.”
Anyone with information that could help the investigation is asked to contact police via telephone number 101, quoting incident number 0749 of February 8 2022 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

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!
