Police launch a double murder investigation after two men are found dead in a flat in Patrick’s Chancellor Street, Partick, Glasgow. The men are named as Paul Lafferty, 50, and Gary Beaton (also reported as Gary Beatson), 54, and officers are called to the address on Sunday.
The outlets report that the circumstances involve serious injuries, with one description stating the men are found “seriously hurt” before dying at the scene, while others describe them as found dead when officers arrive. All accounts say the incident prompts a murder inquiry and an examination of the property and surrounding area. Police do not report any confirmed suspect or motive in the provided coverage.
The differing emphasis is largely in wording—whether the men are found dead or seriously injured—rather than in the core facts of where the bodies are found and that a double murder investigation is opened.
