A suspect has been charged over the death of a man allegedly stabbed in Castlemilk. Stuart Smith appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court this afternoon, Thursday July 3, 2025.
The 41-year-old, of Glasgow, faced a single charge of murder during his private hearing, where he made no plea. The case against him was continued for prosecutors to investigate further.
No future court dates have been set but Smith, who was remanded in custody in connection with the case, is expected to make a second appearance in the dock next week.
Emergency services were called to Arnprior Road in Castlemilk, Glasgow, following reports of an injured 58-year-old man at around 3.05pm on Tuesday July 1. He was taken to he Queen Elizabeth University Hospital – where he died today.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “A 41-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with the death of a man in Castlemilk.
“Around 3.05pm on Tuesday, 1 July, 2025, we received a report of a 58-year-old man found seriously injured at Arnprior Road.
“He was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital where he died on Thursday, 3 July.
“The 41-year-old man is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Friday, 4 July.”
Yesterday, in a separate incident, we reported that a second teenager had been arrested and charged after a boy was allegedly stabbed on a Glasgow street more than a month ago.
Emergency services raced to the incident at 10.30pm on May 29 after the 15-year-old victim was found seriously injured on Denbeck Street in Shettleston.
Mercy crews attended and the teen was rushed to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital for treatment to serious injuries.
He has since been discharged. Detectives have confirmed they are treating the incident as attempted murder.
The second male who has been arrested and charged in connection with the incident, also aged 15, is due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court at a later date.
Another 15-year-old male who already appeared in court in connection with the incident on June 5, who is from Glasgow but cannot be named for legal reasons, did not enter a plea.

The case against him was continued for prosecutors to investigate further and he was released on bail. Cops say inquiries remain ongoing.
Officers previously appealed to anybody who may have witnessed the group to come forward.
Detective Inspector Lesley-Ann McGee, from Shettleston CID, had said: “This was a violent attack that left a teenage boy with serious injuries, and we are doing everything we can to trace those responsible.
“I would urge anyone who saw what happened or noticed anything suspicious in the area to get in touch with police as soon as possible.
“We’re also keen to speak to anyone who may have private CCTV, doorbell or dash-cam footage from Denbeck Street, Shettleston Road, Wellshot Road or the surrounding areas on Thursday night.
“Any information, no matter how small, could help us as we continue our enquiries.”
