Thirty-two year-old Robbie Yuill was pronounced dead at the scene.
A 46-year-old man has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for the murder of a 32-year-old in Lanark two years ago.
Mark Allison was found guilty of killing Robbie Yuill on December 2 2023 at the High Court in Glasgow earlier.
Police were called to Smyllum Road in the town to reports of an injured man.
Robbie was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detective Chief Inspector Laura Sands said: “Robbie’s murder has left his family absolutely devastated and our thoughts remain with them at this extremely difficult time.
“This was a violent attack which resulted in shocking loss of life and Allison will now face the consequences of his actions.
“While this conviction cannot change what has happened, I hope it will give Robbie’s family and friends some closure.
“Violent incidents such as this are not tolerated in our communities and our officers will continue to work tirelessly to bring those responsible to justice.”
