GLASGOW, Scotland – Authorities in Glasgow, Scotland are seeking the public’s assistance in solving the murder of 61-year-old Ann Coll, who was discovered with serious injuries at her residence on Rutherglen’s Newfield Place on December 22. Coll was pronounced dead at the scene, prompting the launch of a murder investigation.
Investigators have been diligently working to piece together Coll’s final movements and have been canvassing the neighborhood for potential witnesses or anyone with information that may assist in the case. One month after the tragic event, the authorities are urging the public to come forward with any information related to the night of December 21 into the early hours of December 22, particularly during the festive period when the area would have been busier than usual.
Detective Chief Inspector Lynsey Watters emphasized the importance of community involvement in the investigation, urging individuals to report even seemingly insignificant details that could prove vital to solving the case. Watters also highlighted the area’s high traffic from Rutherglen to the south side of Glasgow, which would have seen increased activity due to the holiday season.
On the evening of her murder, Coll had returned from a walk with her dog around 8:30pm and had spoken with her family at approximately 9:15pm. She was the mother of three grown children and had eight grandchildren, some of whom she had plans to spend time with before her tragic death. Authorities believe they are making progress in their investigation and remain fully committed to identifying those responsible for Coll’s untimely death.
The devastation caused by Coll’s murder has had a profound impact on her loved ones, who should have been enjoying the festive season together but instead had to endure the anguish of her loss. The authorities are working tirelessly to provide answers for Coll’s family and bring those responsible to justice.
