Hundreds are expected to march from Ibrox Stadium to Celtic Park today in a demonstration against knife crime. The family of tragic Kory McCrimmon will join a 'Parents Against Knives' march in Glasgow today. Hundreds are set to walk through the streets of the city from Ibrox Stadium to Celtic Park at 1pm. Kory died after an attack involving a bladed weapon on May 31, 2024. He was found seriously injured in the city's Greenfield Park. Ahead of the march his family vowed the 16-year-old's life 'will not be in vain' as they urged others to join the walk. The march comes in the wake of the deaths of teenagers Amen Teklay and Kayden Moy in separate incidents in recent weeks. The tragedies have taken place amid the Record's Our Kids ... Our Future campaign, which was launched two years ago in response to a youth violence epidemic. In a statement issued through Victim Support Scotland, Kory's family previously said: 'Kory McCrimmon's young life was a brushstroke in time but we his family wish for his death to make a difference: Kory's life will not be in vain. 'Our aim here is to continue highlighting the increase in deaths and danger by knife and violent crime. Our sons and daughters are more than statistics, they deserve better. 'Kory's parents are very clear: if we can prevent at least one more family going through this life-shattering agony, we have gone a long way in our mission, but let's go further. 'We walk in Kory's name but we stand for all those lives lost or maimed to knife violence: too much, too many. No more. 'Come join our walk and lend your hearts and voices to making our streets, our young people and our lives safer.' Two boys aged 14 and 16 have appeared in court charged with murder following the death of 15-year-old Amen in the Maryhill area of Glasgow on March 5. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

A 14-year-old boy and two 17-year-old boys have appeared in court charged with murder following his death. Kate Wallace, chief executive of Victim Support Scotland, said: 'Too many lives are being devastated by knife crime in Scotland. 'Behind every statistic, hundreds of lives are irreversibly impacted with tragic consequences for everyone involved; family, friends, siblings, school mates, and the wider communities in which we all live. 'We support the Parents Against Knives walk, organised entirely by the McCrimmon family in memory of their son Kory, which will undoubtedly help draw attention to this growing crisis. 'These are complex and sensitive situations which require a multi-agency response from the Scottish Government, victim support organisations, police, social work, youth work and others to work together to tackle knife crime and the devastation it causes. People across Scotland deserve to feel safe in their own communities.'

Teenager arrested after 'fire tornado' engulfs former Scots primary school
A huge inferno broke out at the building in Perth on Sunday morning. A teenager has been arrested after a massive fire broke out at a former primary school in Perth. Firefighters raced to the former Balhousie Primary School building in the city's Muirton Place just after midnight on Sunday, June 22. An eyewitness reported that the building was engulfed by a "tornado of fire and smoke". Six fire crews and two height appliances were sent to the scene, with efforts to control the blaze continuing into the early hours. An 18-year-old has since been arrested in connection with wilful fire-raising. Images from the scene show the flames coming out of the roof of the building, sending thick smoke and an orange glow into the night sky. As the flames became thicker before crews could extinguish them, they appeared to have taken hold inside the building, with broken windows showing the fire raging behind. It appears to be burning extremely close to neighbouring buildings, however residents of several properties were evacuated as a precaution, according to Police Scotland. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) said two crews and one height appliance remain at the scene on Sunday morning to carry out dampening down work. There are not believed to have been any casualties in the blaze. One eyewitness told BBC Scotland News: "I drove past at about 01:30 and the roof had collapsed. There was a full fire-smoke tornado engulfing the building. "The flames began to subside about an hour later and the red glow was almost completely gone by about 03:30." She added that staff at a local garage provided coffee and water to emergency responders, with a nearby McDonald's handing out food. Dunkeld Road, Balhousie Street and Muirton Place were closed, with motorists and pedestrians advised to avoid the area. Local residents were told to keep windows and doors closed due to smoke from the scene. A Police Scotland spokesperson said: 'Emergency services are responding to a fire at a derelict building on Dunkeld Road, Perth, which was reported around 12.25am on Sunday, 22 June, 2025. 'Dunkeld Road, Balhousie Street and Muirton Place are currently closed and a number of properties are being evacuated as a precaution. 'Residents in the nearby area are asked to keep their windows and doors closed at this time. 'An 18-year-old man has been arrested in connection with wilful fireraising and enquiries are continuing."

It is the second major fire in the city in just a week, after a tenement building on the corner of South Street and Scott Street in the city centre was destroyed on Saturday, June 14. The blaze left one man dead, with an eight-year-old girl and 27-year-old man taken to hospital. Two firefighters were also treated for injuries sustained while responding to the incident. Perth and Kinross Council has since said the building would need to be completely flattened due to the damage.

Bereaved Scot who lost partner to drunk driver backs calls for lower blood alcohol limit
Charles Pease, whose partner Theresa was killed in a horror crash in Mull in 2015, said the move could save lives. A man who lost his partner to a drunk driver has backed a campaign to reduce the legal blood alcohol limit for motorists. Charles Pease, whose partner Theresa Wade, 29, was killed in a horror crash in Mull in 2015, said the move could save lives. It comes after Theresa's killer, Thomas Wainwright, this week allegedly went on the run while on parole. He was jailed for 12 years after smashing his hired Maserati supercar into the van of island vet Theresa while he was boozed up. He falsely blamed her until it emerged in court he had downed five ciders and two whiskies on an eight-hour binge before getting behind the wheel. Road safety charity Brake has launched a campaign to slash the legal blood alcohol limit to 20mg per 100ml of blood – meaning as little as half a pint could put a driver over the limit. Charles, 69, said: 'I support it. It will take people off the roads that would otherwise be placing others in potential jeopardy. "It has been almost 10 years since I lost Theresa and she continues to be very much on my mind. "She would, I'm sure, have definitely advocated for a reduction in the limit.' In 2014 Scotland cut the limit from 80mg per 100ml of blood to 50mg – one to two pints for an average person. In England and Wales, the limit is still 80mg. Drink and drug driving rates in Scotland remain high. Official data showed over 5500 offences last year – the highest since 2021. Charles said the life of his 'generous, kind and loving' partner had been snuffed out by 'one foolish person'. He said: 'Ultimately I would like to see zero tolerance of drink driving. It's shameful anyone still drinks and drives.' Wainwright, jailed in 2017, had served half his sentence when he was granted early release in 2023. He is now wanted for violating his parole licence. Charles said: 'I'm absolutely appalled. It's a sad reflection on the Scottish judicial system and the sooner he's taken back into custody, the better. Him being at large will put others at risk.'

The Scottish Prison Service said: 'An offender unlawfully at large will be returned to prison when apprehended.' Brake wants a UK-wide 20mg blood alcohol limit to eradicate drink-driving. Research shows motorists having just one or two drinks are six times more likely to be involved in a fatal crash. The charity's website states: "Every year, more than 200 people die in drink-driving incidents on UK roads… 'Some people think driving after one or two drinks is safe, but drinking any alcohol can affect our driving and increase our risk of a crash.' The British Medical Association also last year backed a 20mg limit for new and commercial drivers. A Scottish Government spokesman said: 'Our thoughts are with those who have lost a loved one to drink driving. "Any injury or death as a result of drink driving is one too many and our message to those drivers who continue to ignore the law and drive above the alcohol limit is clear - drink driving is illegal and can ruin lives. 'Legislation to lower the drink drive limit to lowest in the UK was backed unanimously by the Scottish Parliament over a decade ago and was based on independent scientific evidence of when impairment begins to increase significantly, bringing Scotland into line with the majority of other European countries.'
