Police have raided a house in Glenrothes as the investigation into the murder of Mark Deavin continues.
Officers carried out a search at the property on Tuesday, but no arrests have been made so far.
Mr Deavin, 41, was found injured in Boblingen Way around 1.40am on Saturday and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Following Mark’s death, officers cordoned off an area around the footpath, with police tents put up at two sites.
Detective Chief Inspector Kevin Houliston of the major investigation team told The Courier: “Since Mark’s death we have been conducting a number of inquiries to trace the person or persons responsible.
“This has included CCTV inquiries and house to house as we seek to piece together his last known movements, particularly tracing anyone who saw him on Friday evening and into the early hours of Saturday morning.
“On Tuesday a search warrant was executed at an address in Glenrothes in connection with Mark’s murder, and inquiries continue around this premises.
“His family are being kept fully informed of the progress with the investigation.
“A police presence has remained in Boblingen Way as investigations at the scene have continued and I would like to thank the local community for their support and co-operation while this is ongoing.
“I would ask and urge again for anyone with any information to help our inquiries to get in touch via 101 quoting incident number 0413 of July 17, or submit this through the MIPP portal.”
Residents have voiced their concerns amid growing fears that those responsible for the murder are still at large.
‘It’s put the fear into the community’
One Alves Drive resident said: “Everyone is worried that those who did this awful crime haven’t been caught.
“We’ve not been told anything by the police and we don’t even know how long the police cordon will continue.”
Another concerned resident, who asked not to be named, said: “People are in shock at what has happened.
“It’s put the fear into the whole community.
“Everyone I’ve spoken to is worried that the killer or whoever did this is still free.”
Another added: “It’s a close knit community we just want the killer caught as soon as possible.”
Julie Ford, the depute provost of Fife whose ward covers the murder site, said: “Obviously it’s very shocking. Police Scotland have been very cautious in what they’ve released, understandably.
“The police will be doing work behind the scenes that none of us are aware of.
“Any serious crime like this is quite a frightening matter.
“I’d be surprised if there was anybody who wasn’t shocked and scared by the story when it broke.”
