Charity Cash Boost In Memory Of Nessa

A big-hearted community has joined together to raise money in memory of murdered Glasgow gran Agnes Mechen. Friends and neighbours of 64-year-old – known as Nessa – organised a fundraising event in aid of National Missing Person’s Helpline charity which helped the family of the pensioner when she went missing from her Govanhill home.

More than four years ago Nessa had gone out to collect cash from credit customers but did not return. Her body was later found in a nearby flat.

Her friend Margaret Montgomerie said they had raised more than £2000 for the charity. Groups including local contractors McGeady’s, Morris Furnishing and Govanhill Housing Association all helped boost the donation.

A 30-year-old man has appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court in connection with Agnes’s death.
