Teenager appears in court over death of Glasgow man

Court papers say Luis Cameron punched Daniel Colrain, leaving the 21-year-old unconscious, before trying to leave Scotland for Dubai, prosecutors said.

  • Former Partick Thistle youth player Luis Cameron appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Friday charged with culpable homicide; Sheriff Helen McGinty granted bail to the 19-year-old, who was committed for further examination.
  • Early Sunday, October 4, prosecutors allege Cameron punched Daniel Colrain, 21, in Glasgow's Royal Exchange Square, rendering him unconscious; Colrain, a former employee at The Smiddy Bar, died in hospital the following day.
  • Cameron allegedly attempted to flee to Dubai, booking a flight and visiting the Royal Alexandria Hospital in Paisley to fabricate a hand injury before traveling to Glasgow Airport in an attempt to avoid capture.
  • Before joining United Arab Emirates team Arabian Falcons in July, Cameron played for Partick Thistle and Drumchapel United; Colrain was a 'beloved presence in the community' at The Smiddy, where staff are raising funds for his family.
  • Specialist officers are supporting Colrain's family following his death; Cameron, represented by lawyer Paul Sweeney, will appear in court again at a later date to face the culpable homicide charge.
