The death of a four-year-old whose body was found in a flat is being treated as murder following a post-mortem examination, police have said.

The body of Kayden Frank was discovered in a flat on Argyle Street in Paisley, west of Glasgow, on Monday at around 8pm after a report of concern.

He was found alongside the body of a 38-year-old man – whose death is not being treated as suspicious.

Police said on Thursday they have no information to suggest anyone else was involved and inquiries are ongoing.

Detective Chief Inspector Christopher Thomson, of Police Scotland’s major investigation team, said: “Our thoughts are with Kayden’s family and friends, along with everyone affected by this tragedy.

“We are providing his family with specialist support at this incredibly difficult time and officers are continuing inquiries to try and get some answers for them.

“Kayden’s family have requested that their privacy is respected at this time.”
