Police have set up a specific website for the public to submit information in relation to the murder of a man in Fife.
Mark Deavin, 41, was found injured on Boblingen Way in Glenrothes at 1.40am on Saturday and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police Scotland has set up a website designed specifically to gather information on the circumstances of Mr Deavin’s death.
The man’s family, in a statement released through the force, said: “We are completely devastated by his murder. He was a much loved brother and uncle and will be sorely missed by all.”
Officers are looking to speak to anyone with information, with Detective chief inspector Kevin Houliston saying: “We are keen to speak to anyone who saw Mark on Friday evening or into the early hours of Saturday morning. Likewise we would like to talk to anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious in Boblingen Way in the early hours of Saturday morning.
“We have set up a website to give members of the public access to an online form which sends information directly to the enquiry team. You can choose to remain anonymous when submitting information.
“Anyone who can help is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting reference 0413 of 17 July, 2021.
“Alternatively, information can be passed anonymously through the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
