THE death of a four-year-old boy who was found in a flat along with a man is being treated as murder, police have said.
Officers went to the home in Argyle Street, Paisley, on Monday around 8pm after a report of concern and the bodies of Kayden Frank and a 38-year-old man were discovered.
Kayden’s death is being treated as murder, while the death of the man is not being treated as suspicious.
Police said they have no information to suggest that anyone else was involved and inquiries are ongoing.
Detective Chief Inspector Christopher Thomson said: “Our thoughts are with Kayden’s family and friends, along with everyone affected by this tragedy.
“We are providing his family with specialist support at this incredibly difficult time and officers are continuing inquiries to try and get some answers for them.
“Kayden’s family have requested that their privacy is respected at this time.”
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!
