Published 9 Sep 2011 09:30
CCTV images and a video of two people and a car that detectives would like to trace in connection with the murders of Thomas Snr, Thomas Jnr and Bridget Sharkey have been released.
Strathclyde Police have emphasised that these people are potential key witnesses.
They were in the area at the time and could possess information that is critical to the investigation.
The first person police wish to trace was wearing a grey or blue top and dark trousers or jeans, seen walking north in John Street away from the direction of the water front crossing West Princes Street in Helensburgh around 5am on Sunday July 24.
The second person is a white man, in his twenties and of slim to medium build.
He has short brown hair and was wearing a white t-shirt, blue jeans and brown shoes.
He was seen walking in West Clyde Street a few minutes before the fire was discovered.
Police are also keen to trace the occupants of a light-blue Renault Clio that was seen in both John Street and West Clyde Street a short time after the fire was discovered.
Detective Superintendent Peter McPike said: "I believe that both the people who are seen walking in the area and the occupants of the Renault Clio are key witnesses and could have information that is vital to this investigation.
"I would urge them, or anyone who recognises them to come forward to police as a matter of urgency and assist us in this ongoing triple murder investigation."
