Glasgow Crime Stories: The House of Blood in Govanhill's Dixon Avenue
In the annals of violent crime in Glasgow alcohol has sadly all too often played its part. Seventeen years ago a late-night drinking session resulted in the murders of three innocent men in what became known as the House of Blood. Former joiner Ian Mitchell, 67, had rented out a room his top floor flat home in Dixon Avenue, Govanhill for the last ten years to his close pal, Tony Coyle, 71, above. Both men were well known and liked locally. Tony hailed from the village of Bloody Foreland near Donegal in the west coast of Ireland and was a devout Catholic.
