Appeal after suspicious death in Woodlands

Detectives are scouring a flat in Woodlands this afternoon after the suspicious death of a woman there yesterday.

The 67-year-old was discovered around 4 o'clock on West Princes Street.

Officers say the area would have been busy at the time, and they want to speak to anyone with information.

Detective Superintendent Suzie Chow, of Police Scotland’s Major Investigation Teams and senior investigating officer said: "Whilst we are at the early stages of the investigation into this suspicious death, we are following up a number of lines of enquiry and I would ask anyone who has any information that could assist with our investigation to please get in touch. It is imperative that we trace whoever is responsible for this woman's death as soon as possible.

"The area of West Princes Street is very residential and we are sure that there will be people who may have witnessed something untoward in the lead up to the discovery of the woman's body yesterday. If you have any information, no matter how insignificant it might seem to you, please contact us as soon as possible."

Superintendent Ross Allan of Greater Glasgow Police Division, said: "This is a very distressing incident and we understand that the local community will be extremely shocked and concerned about this, but I would like to take this opportunity to reassure them that we have a team of officers working alongside our detective colleagues to trace whoever is responsible for this crime.

"Additional officers will be in and around the local community of Woodlands and I would encourage anyone with any concerns or any information to approach these officers."

Detectives have set up an online portal to encourage members of the public to submit information. The Major Incident Public Portal (MIPP) is a website that gives the public access to a form so they can send information directly to the major incident teams based at the Scottish Crime Campus.
