28-year old Billyjoe Bates was found seriously injured in Ashfield Street he died 4 days later in hospital
Detectives investigating the murder of a man in the Milton area of Glasgow are re-appealing for information, exactly four weeks on from when he died in hospital. 28-year old Billyjoe Bates was found seriously injured in Ashfield Street at its junction with Kippen Street around 2.30pm on Sunday 18 November 2018.
He was taken to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he later died in the early hours of Thursday 22 November 2018.
Extensive enquiries are ongoing to trace those responsible for Billyjoe’s death, and provide answers for his family.
Detective Chief Inspector Suzanne Chow from Police Scotland’s Major Investigations Team said: “I am appealing for people to come forward with any information which could help us find whoever is responsible for this brutal murder.
“Billyjoe was found seriously injured in a residential street in the middle of the afternoon and I believe that someone must know what happened to him.
“Whether you have information about where Billyjoe was prior to him being found injured, or if you saw or heard anything at all out of the ordinary in the area of Ashfield Street and Kippen Street, please do the right thing and get in touch. The slightest detail could be important and I would urge anyone with information to contact us."
Billyjoe’s mother Jackie Wilson said: “Billyjoe was my youngest son and I miss him terribly every day.
“He had his whole life ahead of him and it’s devastating to know that I will never see him again.
“I don’t know how our family will ever get over this and the thought of spending Christmas without Billyjoe is very upsetting.
“Our family need to know what happened and why so please, if you know anything at all, come forward and tell the police.”
