Man, 27, found dead in Scots flat named locally as police hunt killer

A MAN found dead at a block of flats has been named locally as cops continue to hunt for his killer.

Officers swooped on Brookfield Road, Port Glasgow, just after 9pm last night after he was found seriously injured.

The 27-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene after the "targeted" killing.

Tributes flooded in on social media for the victim, named locally as Jack Trainner.

Nadia Carter posted on Facebook: “Your babies will love you forever
“Can’t believe I’ve got to tell our babies your gone to heaven, just doesn’t feel real - love you always Jack Trainner.

“Shine bright for Cole and Callie.”

Uniformed cops and forensics officers flooded Brookfield Road throughout today, examining the close and surrounding area.

Meanwhile, some residents were told they weren’t allowed to leave their homes for much of the day.

Police confirmed they are treating the death as suspicious and appealed to anyone who may have any CCTV or dashcam footage to get in touch.

Detective Chief Inspector Ally Semple, Major Investigation Teams (West) said: “At this time, we believe that the attack on the man was targeted.

“Officers have been carrying out enquiries in the area, checking CCTV and speaking to local residents but we’d still like to hear from anyone with information who has not yet come forward.

“We’d be keen to view any doorbell/private CCTV or dashcam footage from the area and between 8.30pm and 9.15pm on Saturday, just in case footage has been caught that would identify any suspects.”
