Witnesses saw pub murder vehicle

Generic Porsche Cayenne

Police have released details of the vehicle they believe was used in a double shooting outside a Glasgow pub.

George Redmond died and John McGuire was seriously injured when they were shot while leaving the Waldorf pub in Glasgow on Monday night.

Witnesses have told detectives that the killer used a black Porsche Cayenne sports utility vehicle (SUV) with an 05 number plate to carry out the attack.

It was seen parked in a side street opposite the bar before the shooting.

The SUV was later seen heading towards the M8 eastbound following the shooting at 2225 BST.

Automatic pistol

The 42-year-old victims, who were both known to police, were taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary after at least nine shots were fired by the gunman in what police described as a "callous and cowardly" attack.

Mr Redmond died a short time after arriving at the hospital. It is believed he was shot with an automatic pistol fired from just 15ft away. George Redmond

Det Supt John Riggans, who is heading the investigation, urged anyone who could remember seeing the vehicle either parked in, or driving away from, the Cambridge Street area between 2100 BST and 2230 BST on Monday to contact the police.

He added: "The area has many bars, hotels and theatres and I ask any person that has the slightest piece of information, no matter how trivial it may seem, to contact the incident room at Anderston on 0141 532 3268."

A dedicated e-mail address, GeorgeRedmondInquiry@strathclyde.pnn.police.uk, has also been set up to allow potential witnesses to pass information to the police.
