Man arrested in connection with Glasgow street death

Police have arrested a man after a 61-year-old was killed in the Tollcross area of Glasgow.

James Greenhorn was stabbed on Dalness Close at about 12:25 on Monday. He was pronounced dead at the scene and police launched a murder probe.

Officers previously said the attack was believed to be targeted and a 30-year-old man has since been arrested.

Locals told BBC Scotland News that Greenhorn was a quiet man who would always give neighbours a wave.

Sinclair Manson, who lives on Dalness Close, said he assumed there had been a traffic accident when police arrived in the area.

He added: "There's cops everywhere. Everybody knew him."

"He was quiet enough, kept himself to himself. When he walked by you on the street he would give you a wave."

Another neighbour, who did not want to be identified, said the death was both tragic and concerning.

They said: "It's very concerning, especially for the area. It was just a shame, it's an absolute shame.

"If whoever it is can run out and do that to somebody for whatever reason, what's to stop them doing it to someone else?"

Shannon Greenhorn, the victim's daughter, was excused from attending her court hearing due to the death.

The 29-year-old was to appear for her deferred sentencing at Glasgow Sheriff Court, having previously pled guilty to four different charge sheets, which spanned from April 2024 to March 2025.

The offences included assaulting police officers, resisting arrest and behaving in a threatening or abusive manner.

Sheriff Joanna McDonald ordered her to be of good behaviour and a review of the order was due to take place.

Ian McClelland, defending, told the court she had been in his office on several occasions since Monday.

He added: "A sad episode happened to her father where her father was murdered.

"The position is for her matters is that she attended my office yesterday and was advised she was not required to attend today which I am sure you will have no difficulty with."
