Allan Humphrey, 68, is scheduled to stand trial for the alleged murder of Michael McManus, a janitor at Baird Street Police Station in Glasgow, dating back to July 13, 1999. Humphrey has pleaded not guilty to the charges, which include stabbing McManus multiple times. The trial is set for November 2027, with the prosecution relying on eyewitness testimony due to the absence of CCTV evidence.
The case has been complicated by the deaths of key witnesses since the incident, raising concerns about the availability of crucial testimonies. The trial's outcome may hinge on the remaining witnesses' accounts, as officials noted the challenges posed by the passage of time and loss of evidence.
