Man in court over Glasgow flats murder

Kyle Potter, 25, appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday charged with murdering Paul McMinigal, 44, outside flats in Parkhead last month. He made no plea during the short, private hearing, was committed for further examination and remanded in custody.

Incident details

Emergency crews were called to Burgher Street flats in the east end of the city after the alarm was raised at around 3pm on Friday, July 24. McMinigal was found seriously injured and pronounced dead at the scene.

Police Scotland previously said they were treating the death as murder and launched a major investigation. Last week, the force confirmed a 25-year-old man had been arrested and charged in connection with the death.

Investigation and appeal

Potter will appear in court again in the next eight days. A police presence remained in the area for a number of days following the incident.

Detective Chief Inspector Stephen McGrath initially urged locals to come forward with any information they may have had. He said in part: "Our thoughts remain with the family of Paul McMinigal who died at what is an extremely difficult time for them."

"They continue to be supported by specially trained officers. We understand that this incident will be concerning for the local community and a police presence will remain in the area while the investigation continues."
