New images released and reward offered in search for Scottish murder suspect in Spain
Derek Ferguson is wanted in connection with the murder of Thomas Cameron in Auchinairn in 2007
Fresh e-fit images have been generated, and a £5000 pound reward is being offered for fresh information about the suspect for the murder of a man in Bishopbriggs 14 years ago who police believe may be living Spain.
Derek Ferguson is wanted in connection with the murder of Thomas Cameron in Auchinairn Road in Bishopbriggs on 28 June 2007, but detectives say he may now have a different name and no longer speaking with a Scottish accent.
The appeal comes as the independent charity, Crimestoppers, marks the 14th anniversary of Mr Cameron’s death with a £5000 reward being offered to anyone who contacts them anonymously with information which helps lead to the arrest of Ferguson.
Scottish fugutive is on the most wanted list
Ferguson features on the National Crime Agency’s most wanted list and he is part of the multi-agency Operation Captura fugitives hunt.
Detective Superintendent John Wyllie, who is leading the investigation, said:
“I am continuing to appeal for anyone who has any knowledge of Ferguson’s whereabouts to get in touch with any information which could help us trace him.
“Since 2007, we have carried out extensive enquiries and I am certain that the commitment and tenacity of our officers and our partner agencies will result in Ferguson being found.
