A double murder investigation was launched after two men, aged 50 and 54, were found dead in a flat on Chancellor Street in the Partick area of Glasgow at about 16:40 on Sunday 16 August 2026. Post-mortem examinations carried out on the Monday and Tuesday confirmed both causes of death as murder, and detectives believe a knife was used. The flat was the home of one of the men and the two knew each other; the last sighting of either was on the Friday morning. Police Scotland's Major Investigation Team appealed for witnesses and said it was keeping an open mind on whether one or more people were responsible. No arrest has been reported. By 24 August the investigation had not produced an arrest. Detectives had visited more than 170 properties as part of what the force described as extensive door-to-door inquiries, and had seized more than 4,000 hours of public and private CCTV footage. A detective superintendent of the major investigation team said significant resources had been dedicated to the case and that officers were following a number of significant lines of inquiry and exploring forensic opportunities, supported by national forensic specialists. A superintendent of Greater Glasgow Division said the deaths had been a shocking incident for the Partick community and that high-visibility patrols would remain in the area. A major incident public portal was opened for information to be submitted directly to detectives.
