Detectives have appealed for help in the hunt for dad-of-three Ryan Richardson’s killer.
Ryan, 28, was found dead in his flat in Kilmany Drive, Shettleston, Glasgow, last Friday.
Police had forced entry to his home amid concerns from his family who had not had any contact with him for more than a week.
A murder investigation was launched and Detective Chief Inspector Grant Macleod said yesterday: “ Ryan was in regular contact with and was much loved by his family. They are absolutely devastated by his death.
“Family members are now faced with the responsibility of having to explain to his children in time what has happened to their dad.”
He added: “It appears he sustained a vicious and brutal attack which has led to significant injuries which have caused his death.
“He was known to police , however he was also a very vulnerable man in many ways. Notwithstanding his lifestyle or any involvement he had with the police, he did not deserve to die in the manner he did.”
