Cops have launched a murder probe after the death of a man in Cumbernauld. Emergency crews raced to the property on Glenhove Road in the town at around 9.20am on Wednesday, July 15, and found the body.
The man, 45-year-old John McMonigle, sustained serious injuries and following a post-mortem examination police have confirmed his death is being treated as murder.
Detectives have carried out door-to-door enquiries in the area in an effort to establish the full circumstances surrounding the death. Police Scotland have urged anyone with information about John’s death to come forward.
Detective Chief Inspector Laura Young, senior investigating officer from the Major Investigation Team, said: “Our thoughts are with Mr McMonigle’s family at what is an extremely difficult time for them.
“They are being supported by specially trained officers and have asked for their privacy to be respected. A dedicated team of officers is working to establish the full circumstances and they have already spoken to a number of people in the area.
“Door-to-door enquiries are continuing. We are asking anyone who saw Mr McMonigle in the lead up to his death who have not already spoken to officers to get in touch. Likewise, if you saw anything suspicious.
“We are also asking the public to check any private CCTV they might have and dash-cam footage to see if something has been captured that could assist with our investigation.
“We understand this incident will be concerning for the local community and officers remain in the area and anyone with concerns can approach them.
