A 16-year-old boy has died after a disturbance at Irvine Beach in North Ayrshire.

Police Scotland said the teenager, from East Kilbride, was seriously injured at about 18:45 on Saturday.

He was taken to Crosshouse Hospital in Kilmarnock but died from his injuries on Sunday.

Det Ch Insp Campbell Jackson said an extensive investigation was under way to establish the full circumstances surrounding the death.

He added: “Our officers are supporting the boy’s family at this very difficult and heartbreaking time.”

The senior officer confirmed that a number of people were on the beach during one of the warmest days of the year.
