Charity offers reward of up to £10,000 for information on murder of Paul Mathieson in Renfrew. The charity Crimestoppers is offering a reward of up to £10,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for the murder of Paul Mathieson, also known as Paul Todd or Paul T.
Paul, who was 37 years old, suffered what was described as a “sustained and brutal” attack leaving him with serious injuries in Houston Street, close to Wilson Street, Renfrew on Sunday 14 January 2018.
The victim had earlier been drinking at The Kind Man’s public house and then at the Western Bar on Hairst Street. He left there just after midnight, and used a fast food outlet before walking home. As he approached his address on Houston Street it’s believed the suspect attacked him following a brief conversation.
A passer-by discovered Paul lying in the street at around 1am. He was treated at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, placed in an induced coma before his condition deteriorated and he sadly died six days later.
A reward of up to £10,000 is now being offered for information given to our charity that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for Paul Mathieson’s murder.
Angela Parker, National Manager for the charity Scotland Crimestoppers, said: “This is devastating for his family and friends, and they now deserve to know who has taken him away from them. Paul was loved by his family, but most importantly he was a father and his murder has left a 12-year-old boy without his dad.
“This murder occurred on the edge of the town centre and we hope someone, somewhere will have information. We urge you to please speak up and help keep your community safe by contacting our charity. I promise you that nobody will know you spoke to us and that you will remain 100% Anonymous. Always.”
