A man has been found guilty of murder following an attack at a home in North Lanarkshire.
Steven McGhee, 48, seriously assaulted Kevan Doyle at a property on Glencleland Road in Wishaw at around 8.55pm on Friday, October 28, 2022. Officers attended but Doyle, 43, was found with fatal injuries and died at the scene.
McGhee was arrested the following day and charged with the murder on Sunday, October 30, 2022. He was found guilty at the High Court in Glasgow on Thursday and will be sentenced next month.
Detective Superintendent John Morrison said: “I hope the verdict will bring a sense of justice for Kevan’s family and friends and our thoughts remain with them as they adapt to life after his tragic death.
“Thankfully crimes like these are rare in our communities. When such incidents take place, we will use all resources necessary to carry out thorough, rigorous inquiries to ensure we track down those responsible to bring them to justice as swiftly as possible.
“I would like to thank all officers involved for their dedication and commitment throughout the investigation as well as those members of the public who assisted with our enquiries.”
