They wish to speak to anyone who saw or spoke to Mr Inskip on either Friday, March 1 or the morning of Saturday, March 2, and to any motorists with dashcam who may have been in the areas of Harley Street, Ainslie Street, Pink Street, and Woodbine Road at the time.
Detective chief inspector Tracey McMurdo, of the force major investigation team, said: “My thoughts remain with Mr Inskip’s loved ones at this time. While we still don’t know how Paul came by his injury, we are doing all we can to try and establish this so we can give them some answers.
“I would appeal to anyone who saw or spoke to Paul on that Friday or Saturday to come and speak to us so we can try to piece together what happened to him.”
Three people have been arrested – a woman in her 40s and two men in their 30s – on suspicion of assault. They have been bailed pending further enquiries.
