A man has been convicted of murder following the death of 28-year-old Anthony Collins in Port Glasgow.

Daniel Langman, 48, was found guilty on Monday, 17 April, 2023, following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow.

Mr Collins died at a property on Mackie Avenue on Sunday, 16 May, 2021 after being attacked by Langman.

Detective Inspector Nikki Wake, of Greenock CID, said: “This was a brutal attack that has left Anthony’s family absolutely devastated and our thoughts remain with them at this extremely difficult time.

“While nothing can change what has happened, I hope that this conviction brings at least a degree of closure for his relatives and friends.

“Langman will now have to face the consequences of his actions.

“I would like to thank Anthony’s family, friends and those in the wider community who helped officers during this enquiry.”
