They are appealing for local people to come forward with any information they may have which may help them to find out who was responsible.

Specific details about the cause of the fire have not been given yet.

“Later that morning, a fire was set deliberately at the house.

“Cameron died at the scene. His parents, both 54 years of age, have since been released from hospital, however, his 24-year-old girlfriend remains in hospital where medical staff describe her condition as critical.

“Officers are still at the house carrying out inquiries and are also in the area speaking to neighbours and checking CCTV.”

Forensic officers were working at the scene yesterday (Monday, January 2) under large green covers which had been placed over the house.

Mr Frew added: “Although it was early on New Year’s morning, it’s possible that people were about, maybe walking their dogs or out jogging in or near the area. I would appeal to them or indeed anyone who was near Achray Place, who saw activity at the house prior to or after the fire to contact police.”
