eye witnesses in cambuslang said they saw a white Maestro car, or perhaps a rover, white with a spoiler and a boot... something like this



the car abandoned in easterhouse later was this




police showed a picture of this car to witnesses and they said "that could be the car i saw"


highly suggestive from the police, same with the mannequin.



the man spotted fleeing into the white car in Cambuslang was described to have a fat face and short hair.

William Gage had long hair down to his back at the time of the murder

Hi FreeWillyGage just wondering what your opinion of the drugs surveillance team on the case.

ask yourself, would criminals abandon a car on a grassy embankment in a busy street infront of numerous flats and poorly attempt to burn it, and leave clothing in there, if it had been involved in a murder? I think not.

The police were called some 10 minutes after the car had originally been abandoned.

DNA matching Williams, was on a drinks bottle in the car, and also on the waterproof jacket.

there was minor traces of firearm residue on the clothing, but experts say not near as much as you would expect if someone had earlier fired a gun.

Willie denies any knowledge or responsibility of this car and says he was in Glasgows westend at the time of the murder, an alibi supported by his girlfriend.

the sentencing judge in the trial expressed his concerns over the guilty verdict and appeared to be directing the jury towards at a not-proven verdict.

Hi FreeWillyGage just wondering what your opinion of the drugs surveillance team on the case.


the victim, Justin McAlroy was under this surveillance for many months, he had contacts with figures in Glasgows underworld and was also in 50k debt. Jack McConnell was aware of all this even before attending a fundraiser at Justins dads club.  McConnell signed a police warrant allowing them listen to phone calls. the drug agency visited jack just days before the dinner.

Police say they was no surveillance on the night of the murder due to being "short staffed"

I suppose they can say whatever they like in a circumstantial case, when did the crown ever care about proof?  What is laughable is that Willie Gage is supposed to have put six bullets into his victim.  This is the same man who was convicted of armed robbery, years earlier.  Did the jury hear that he wasnt armed with anything, and that he was the driver in the robbery?.  His co-accused who was the gunman in the jewellery robbery was using a toy gun, not that that makes a difference if you are having one pointed at you.

If you were going to hire anyone for a gangland shooting would you not at least hire someone other than a person that had previous as a getaway driver?

Days before Justin was murdered, surveillance had halted.  Who was the man who visited Justin, 4 days before his murder to “let him know that he was running out of time to pay the money up”.
