Police continue the manhunt for the killer in a savage Ayr murder.
Slain Morgan Dunn, 34, was killed in Marigold Square, Kincaidston, on Saturday.
The killing happened inside a terraced home at about 4pm.
A black Audi Q7 could be seen surrounded by police tape in the street on Monday morning. Detectives were this week examining CCTV from the area. All the streets on the planned estate are named after flowers and paths connect to car parks and across open space.
A massive police presence has been maintained at Marigold Square and the heart of the housing estate remained in lock-down.
On Monday morning up to a dozen police remained on the scene while Marigold Square stayed sealed off.
While uniformed officers guarded the four lanes which lead to the square, non-uniformed CID continued to conduct door-to-door enquiries.
Portaloos with copious amounts of toilet roll could be seen, with police expected to be there for days.
One neighbour told the Post: “I’ve spoken to the police and they are thinking they will be here until the end of the week.
“I was in when the incident happened but I didn’t see anything.
“One minute I was watching TV then all of a sudden dozens of police cars appeared out of nowhere. I knew something serious must have happened.
“I hope they catch the killer.”
Marigold Square sits just 300 yards from Kincaidston Primary School.
Another neighbour said: “This is a nice area with a lot of children and families.
“You really wouldn’t expect to hear of a murder happening right here on our doorstep, it’s really scary.”
Another added: “I didn’t see anything but I can’t believe this could happen so close to our home.
“It really doesn’t sit nice knowing someone was murdered so close to us.”
Detectives believe their was an altercation between Dunn and another person in the house.
The suspect is then believed to have ran from the back of the house into rear gardens and then onto Kincaidston Drive, which is main thoroughfare and would have been busy at this time of the day.
Detective Chief Inspector Stevie Wallace, of the Major Investigation Team, said: “I would ask that anyone who may have seen this person running off – maybe into a car or perhaps a taxi – contact police.
“If you have any mobile phone or dash-cam footage that you think may assist our enquiry, then please get in touch.”
