War Horse star Peter Mullan has called for police to step up their investigation into the murder of a close friend in 1997.
Actor Hugh Ferris' body was discovered at his home in Glasgow, Scotland 15 years ago. His feet and ankles had been bound by telephone cable.
Despite a lengthy investigation, no one has ever been charged over his death, and now Mullan has appealed to detectives to bring the killer to justice.
He tells Britain's Daily Record, "Whoever did this to my friend is still out there. On behalf of his family, the people of Glasgow and for justice, they have got to reopen this case.
"I was absolutely aghast (when I heard of his murder). The circumstances of his death were so bizarre. He was tied up in a chair in his own home, apparently robbed. I believe he was asphyxiated, suffered a heart attack and died.
"What shocked me more than anything was that it didn't get a lot of (press) coverage and that nobody has been brought to justice for this. I can't even imagine the anguish his family must be going through... it beggars belief this case has been allowed to go cold."
A spokesperson for Strathclyde Police says, "The investigation into the death of Hugh Ferris is still ongoing."...

Lighting designers at Creatmosphere bring a skeletal building back to life with a century-old technique.
Brighton, England's 1,115-foot-long West Pier has had a tough run lately. Built in 1866, it closed in 1975 and was burned to a crisp by a series of fires in 2003 (arson, say the experts). Plans to rebuild it have been batted around for years, but they've always been too expensive. The most ambitious of which includes a 600-foot-tall observation tower called the i360, designed by Marks Barfield, the firm behind London's Eye. It's under construction, but moving slowly.
That's Brighton's design problem: How do you turn a pile of charred lumber 1,000 feet out in the ocean back into the civic landmark it once was, without actually building anything? Answer: Lasers.
Its spectacle-vs.-impact ratio can't be beat: On Wednesday last week, British lighting studio Creatmosphere drew the 1866 building's original form on the skeleton that remains using neon-green,...
