The family of Colin Armstrong, who was murdered in Macmerry yesterday, has issued the following statement through Police Scotland:
Anne Gray (74), Colin’s mother, said: “Colin was a loving, gentle, harmless, friendly but very private man, who was a much loved son and brother of a family, now devastated by his death.
Colin was left badly affected by the death of his identical twin brother Stephen, who died from cancer in 2009. Now Colin has been cruelly taken from us, this tragedy leaves a huge hole in me and my family. He will be sorely missed, but always remembered by all who knew him.
“The family respectfully ask they wish to be left in peace by the media to privately grieve.”
