Holytown murder probe
A murder hunt is underway in Lanarkshire as detectives try to establish the identity of a man who died after being found seriously injured in a new housing estate.
Police were called after the man was discovered in Panmuir Street, between Holytown and Newarthill, at about 1am on Sunday.
An ambulance crew took the man to Wishaw General Hospital but he died a short time later, Police Scotland said.
Now police are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
Detective Chief Inspector Dave Pinkney, from the major investigation team, said: "Currently our investigation is focusing on establishing the identity of the man and the circumstances that surrounded him being found injured.
"If you believe you saw any suspicious activity around Panmuir Street, or the Holytown area, during the early hours of Sunday morning then please contact police immediately.
"Similarly if you have any information that can assist with this investigation then please also get in touch."
