Man charged over lawyer's murder

"Police have charged a 42-year-old man with the murder of Melbourne solicitor and father-of-three David Robinson.

Police last night arrested John Thomas Glascott at his home in Sunshine Avenue, Kealba shortly before 9pm".

The man charge over the murder of lawyer Mr David Robinson, appeared to be a single father who appeared to be distressed and emotional.

"Neighbours of Mr Glascott said he mostly kept to himself. They said he had lived in a rented unit at the back of another property for up to a year. They said they sometimes saw him in the street with his daughter."

His efforts to burn down the solicitor's office were almost comical

"Senior Sergeant Iddles said he believed a disgruntled family law client of Mr Robinson's might have been responsible because the murder was committed by someone "fairly emotional".

"At 8.20pm he's smashed the window of a shop while there were many people walking by. To then stand there and pick up papers from off the street, light it with a match and poke it through the door, walk around the back and do the same, is someone who's oblivious to their surroundings," he said."
