Summary
A father of two, Billy Watson, was fatally shot in a targeted attack on Harestanes Road in Armadale — police now treating it as murder. A 57-year-old man has been charged and is set to appear in court this Friday. Authorities are hunting four suspects and two vehicles — a blue BMW and black Vauxhall Mokka — seen near the scene. Forensic checks are underway on both cars. The public is urged to come forward with any info, including dash cam or CCTV footage, via the Major Investigation Public Portal or Crimestoppers. Police vow to support Mr. Watson’s family and reassure the community that firearm violence is rare and will not be tolerated.
