Second man arrested over broad daylight knife murder of Scots dad

A second man has been arrested over the broad daylight knife murder of a Scots dad just yards from his home.

The 23-year-old was detained by Police Scotland officers probing the death of James Greenhorn.

The 61-year-old was stabbed to death in Dalness Close, in Glasgow's Tollcross area, on Monday, February 9, 2026.

Police Scotland revealed today, Saturday, February 14, 2026, that the second arrest had been made.

The force said he is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday, February 16, and that a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.

Sean Murray was arrested and charged over the incident previously an remaned in custody when he appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court.

The 30-year-old made no plea to the two charges he faced - murder and attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Prosecutors allege Sean Murray pursued the victim before raining blows on his head and body with a knife.

He is also accused of kicking and punching him and then fleeing to England in a bid to avoid detection.

Court papers state that he made his way to Liverpool, via train from Edinburgh Waverley train station, to avoid detection, arrest and prosecution over the alleged murder.

Earlier this week, the case against him was continued for prosecutors to investigate further and he was remanded in custody.

No future court dates have been set, but he is expected to make a second appearance in connection with the case next week.
