Cops launch murder hunt after barman tied to lamppost and burned alive

A MURDER victim was tied to a lamppost and set on fire in the early hours yesterday.

Detectives sealed off streets after the badly beaten and scorched body was discovered in an industrial estate in Cumnock, Ayrshire.

The victim was named locally as Stuart Walker, 29, former assistant manager at the Royal Hotel in Cumnock.

Locals said his charred remains were tied to the lamppost when he was found shortly before 5am by two members of the public at Caponacre Industrial Estate.

Strathclyde Police confirmed that the body bore scorch marks and horrific injuries which were making a positive identification difficult.

The man leading the investigation, Detective Inspector John Hogg, said: "We are still trying to identify the man and what happened to him although we know he did suffer horrible injuries.

"He is described as white, 20-30 years of age and of stocky build.

"But we have no further details at this time and have not yet identified him.

"The industrial estate is out of the way from the main routes but the units are used over the weekend, so there may be people about who saw something that may help our inquiries.

"There is also a housing estate nearby so again, we are asking local people if they saw anyone acting suspiciously."

One local resident told the Sunday Mail: "There was a disturbance last night in the town near the industrial estate involving young people and this could be linked to this man's death.

"We have been told that the victim was tied to a lamppost and then they tried to set him on fire.

"Some people are saying that they managed to burn him but not completely - and that he may have been beaten to death."

Friends on popular former Cumnock Academy pupil Stuart's Facebook page left messages mourning his loss last night.

Sarah Tomlin wrote: "R.I.P Stuart. You were one of the lovliest people I ever had the chance of knowing. You will be sadly missed.

"Hope they catch who did this."

Whoever did this must be incredibly disturbed to kill someone in such a gruesome way. I'm guessing he got himself into trouble of some sort since it's quite an elaborate way to kill someone if it was just a matter of him being in the wrong place at the wrong time since you'd need to have the tools used at hand. I'm guessing it was a pre-meditated murder rather then a spur of the moment type thing.

Hopefully whoever committed this act will be brought to Justice.

Good god. Awful.

Now... I am not insinuating anything here, at all - but that particular area and the surrounding area in Ayrshire has serious drug issues - I mean heavy duty, serious ones. It could be linked to that - whether he be involved or not - but regardless, it's a hell of a way to deal with someone.

Kazanne · 23-10-2011, 03:04 PM

My God,not a lot shocks me nowadays,but this is horrendous,what goes on in peoples minds to do this?Hope they find the barstewert and lock them away for LIFE,what a horrible way to die.

Tom · 23-10-2011, 04:07 PM

If caught their punishment should be to be tied to a lamp post and set on fire. Thats just awful, what goes through these peoples minds?

bbfan1991 · 23-10-2011, 04:21 PM

It's not any worse than other places to be honest. And, Cumnock is a small town, so it doesn't have the issues you see in cities. I doubt this is drug-related. I think it's a hate-crime. I don't think it's a co-incidence that he's gay.

I heard that 4 girls were lifted for it.. but that could just be the usual local gossip. :/

Expect a wall of silence from the locals

Really.... I beg to differ. How many small Scottish towns have 3 people living in or around Cumnock, that were connected and jailed for their part in a £20million cocaine import about 8 years ago...... not many that I'm aware of.

lily. · 23-10-2011, 08:13 PM

So you base your opinion of the town on one incident that happened 8 years ago? Sounds reasonable.

I live in 'that part of Ayrshire', so I think I ought to know a little bit more about it than you do.

yes, I do base it on that - on the area...not the town alone.

And you have no idea where I have lived... or for how long, or how much I know about who was involved, to what extent etc.

I still would not be surprised if this poor guy's death was drug related. Not saying it was right, but that's pretty much my opinion.

Then I'll leave you to your ill-informed opinions.

Hope they catch the vile cretins that did this.

King Gizzard · 23-10-2011, 09:28 PM

Something similar happened to a guy a few of my friends knew about 3 years ago. Tied him to a fence, made him drink petrol then set him on fire. Absolutely sickening how anyone can consciously do something like that

People like that must have some serious issues.

such a horrible thing to do.

The death of a man found with what police said were "horrible injuries" on an industrial estate is now being treated as murder.
Stuart Walker, 28 from Hearth Place, in Cumnock in Ayrshire, was found dead at the roadside at Caponacre Industrial Estate, Glaisnock Road, in Cumnock, shortly before 5am on Saturday morning.
Police are now checking CCTV and making door-to-door inquiries in a bid to trace his last movements.
Detective Inspector John Hogg, from Strathclyde police, said Mr Walker was last seen alive about two hours before he was killed.
He said: "Stuart had been out with friends in the Cumnock area earlier during the night and was last seen alive by a family friend near to the fire station in Glaisnock Street around 0230 hours on Saturday morning - nearly two-and-a-half hours before he was found.
"It is imperative that we find out where he was between 0230 and 0450 hours, who he was with and why this happened to him.
"From our inquiries so far, we understand that there may have been a number of house parties in the nearby Netherthird housing estate in the early hours of the morning.
"At this time we do not know if these parties are linked to our investigation or not, so again, any information on that is important."

This is making international headlines. The police aren't saying it's a hate-crime, but it really looks that way, and a lot of the LGBT news sites have picked up on the story too. His name is trending in the UK on twitter today.

It makes me feel physically sick that something so evil has happened in the place I live.

Shaun · 24-10-2011, 07:02 PM

that's horrific

Ammi · 24-10-2011, 07:06 PM

This is horrific...evil. I wonder how a family can cope with someone doing this to their loved one. This will haunt them forever..so many lives destroyed

Callum · 24-10-2011, 07:13 PM

Just sickening, disgusting that someone could do such a thing to another human being.

What a horrible world we live in today.

Some Hate Gays.

This is a Evil Murder

I hope those that killed him Die in Prison.

The problem is Arista.. they won't. Even if the people responsible were to stand up in court and admit it, they'd still be free on the streets within a decade. Our justice system is a joke.
