Mark Keel sentenced for murder
A 33-year-old man from Glasgow has today, Tuesday, 27 May, 2025, been sentenced to life and ordered to serve a minimum of 22 years in prison for 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 was sentenced today to 22 years at Glasgow High Court.
Detective Sergeant Ian Evans said: "Keel is a violent individual and women are safer now he has been convicted for his crimes.
"Maxine was a beloved mum and daughter. Maxine's family miss her every day and 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.
“We are committed to tackling violence against women and girls. 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."
