Detective Sergeant William Ross Hunt was murdered in Larkhall when he tried to arrest the suspect in a stabbing
Detective Sergeant William Ross Hunt was killed in Larkhall in 1983 while trying to arrest a stabbing suspect, Hugh Murray Jr, 16, but his family then attacked police with a range of weapons. DS Hunt protected other officers and ensured they got back to their vehicles, but received numerous serious injuries and sadly died.
In 2021, they were told by the Secretary of State for Scotland, Alister Jack, that their latest request for a medal had been refused by the Home Office and Cabinet Office in Downing Street. But forty years after his death he has been recognised for his heroic actions. However, the four detectives were attacked by Murray family members outside their house in Larkhall shortly after 1.20am.
