The 22-year-old, who had been at a party with friends, was brutally slain with a hammer and knives by three mystery men
Darren Birt, who had been at a party with friends, was brutally slain with a hammer and knives by three mystery men.
At the time of the original investigation, three men were questioned and charged but it did not lead to a prosecution. “There is also a culture among some people of not wanting to help the police – even in a murder inquiry.” In 2020 it was revealed that Police Scotland had been carrying out a cold case review of Darren’s murder and was reinterviewing key witnesses.
In March, detective inspector Lynsey Watters of Police Scotland said: “Despite the passage of time, I am determined to find whoever is responsible for Darren’s murder and bring them to justice.“We know that Darren was chased from Edinburgh Road down towards Burnett Road shortly before he was attacked. Someone must have heard something.
It was hoped that the reconstruction might jog a memory, particularly of people who did not think to come forward at the time.Dad Brian issued a moving appeal on the same programme saying: “I’ll do everything in my power to get justice.”He had met friends to watch football and have a few drinks at the house in Burnmouth Road.Darren left the house and CCTV footage later shows him buyingAt this point, he is approached by a second man and a fight breaks out.
