POLICE have launched a murder investigation after a 27-year-old man was found dead over the weekend.
Jack Trainner was pronounced dead at the scene after officers attended an emergency callout to Brookfield Road in Port Glasgow at around 9.05pm, on Saturday, April 27.
Police said there would be an increased officer presence in the area amid an “extensive investigation” to establish the full circumstances of what happened.
Detective Chief Inspector Graham McCreadie, from the Major Investigation Teams, said: “Jack's family and friends will continue to be supported throughout our enquiries. It’s vital we find out exactly what happened to him and I’m appealing to the public for help to do that.
"If you have any information that may assist officers with their enquiries, then please get in touch as soon as you can.
“We would also like to view any private CCTV or dashcam footage from the area and between 6pm and 11pm Saturday."

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!
