The family of tragic John Connelly have reissued their heartfelt plea for information surrounding his death after launching a new poster campaign.
The 28-year-old's body was recovered from the water at Spiers Wharf over a week after he was reported missing in July.
However, detectives released a new appeal for information earlier this month, more than three months after he first disappeared, saying his family “deserved to know what happened to him”.
Officers believe he may have been involved in an altercation near an underpass in the city centre after discovering injuries to his head and body.
Family members have now designed a poster bearing an image of John and information on his disappearance in the hope it will prompt anyone who knows the circumstances around his death to come forward.
The poster, which is set to be put up in locations around the city, reads: “We need to know how Johnny’s life was taken from him.”
“He was a great man, son, brother, nephew and uncle.
“We need answers for Johnny and his family.”
On the night of his disappearance, John was seen walking alone in Buchanan Street near the Galleries and then on to Dundasvale Road at the underpass to Garscube Road.
He was wearing a black Adidas hooded top with white stripes, black jogging trousers and royal blue coloured Nike trainers.
Speaking earlier this month, detective inspector John Morrison of Maryhill CID said: “Garscube Road at Speirs Wharf is a popular route used by runners, dog walkers and skateboarders and I’m appealing to anyone who uses this route to think back and consider if they saw anything.”

Anyone with information is asked to call CID officers at Maryhill Police Station via 101, quoting incident number 3452 of 22 July 2019.
