Mark Keel pleaded guilty to murder in Glasgow
A 33-year-old man from Glasgow has been convicted of murder.
Mark Keel pleaded guilty to murder at the High Court in Glasgow on Wednesday, 30 April, 2025.
On Thursday, 27 June, 2024, emergency services attended the home address of Maxine Clark in Riddrie, Glasgow. Despite the efforts of emergency services Maxine died.
Subsequent enquiries resulted in Mark Keel being arrested and charged in connection with her death.
Following his plea, he will be sentenced on Tuesday, 27 May, 2025.
Detective Sergeant Ian Evans said: "Keel is a violent individual and women are safer now he has been convicted for his crimes.
"Maxine's family miss her every day, they still feel her loss profoundly. I hope they find some solace in knowing Keel is no longer able to inflict his brutal and violent behaviour on any other women.
“Extensive enquiries were carried out with specialist support from the Digital Evidence Detection Dogs. The dogs carried out a search of Maxine’s home address to locate her mobile phone, which played a key part of our investigation.
“I would like to assure anyone suffering at the hands of an abuser not to suffer in silence.
“We have detectives dedicated to investigating such offences, please report it. You can be assured that you will be fully supported by officers and our partner agencies."
