Gavin Gallagher, 33, was found guilty at the High Court in Glasgow on Wednesday, 10 September, 2025

Around 7pm on Friday, 3 November, 2023, officers were called to a block of flats on Southcroft Street, after a man was found seriously injured within. Stephen Gray, 23, was pronounced dead at the scene.
