| (about 11 hours later) | |
| Police have launched a murder inquiry after a post mortem into the death of 23-year-old Greenock man Stephen McGowan in the early hours of Sunday. | |
| Emergency services were called to reports of someone seriously injured in a close in Greenock at 03:20. | |
| DCI Jim Smith said: "Mr McGowan was found in a common close in Tobago Street with serious injuries. He was pronounced dead at the scene." | |
| Police Scotland have appealed for witnesses. | |
| "We have had an excellent response from the public so far," said DCI Smith. "However, I'm still keen to hear from anyone who may have been in the vicinity of the James Watt Wetherspoons Bar, Waterline Bar or Reds Nightclub that are in the Cathcart Street area of Greenock around 03:20 hours on Sunday morning. | |
| "I am keen to confirm the last movements of Mr McGowan and again ask anyone who may have met or spoken with him in the early hours of Sunday 27 July to get in touch." | |
| Police had also cordoned off an area of Lynedoch Street, which they said was linked to the same incident. |
