Ex-boyfriend found guilty of murdering Hannah Dorans

The ex-boyfriend of Edinburgh woman Hannah Dorans has been found guilty of murdering her.

The 21-year-old was killed by 25-year-old Frazer Neil on 11th February 2017.

Hannah, from Dalkieth, had just finished a night-shift as a carer in the Murrayfield area. Neil contacted her and insisted she went to his flat on Hutchison Road to pick up belongings after she broke up with him a fortnight before. It was there that he strangled her with a dressing gown cord.

At around 10:25am that morning, Neil called 999 and reported to Police that he had killed his ex-girlfriend.

Emergency services attended immediately and Hannah was sadly pronounced dead at the scene

Detective Inspector Stuart Alexander of Police Scotland's Major Investigation Team said:

"My thoughts are with Hannah's family who have had a long wait to see justice being done. This will not compensate for the loss of Hannah but I hope it gives them a degree of comfort at what is a very emotional time.

"During the course of the trial, Neil was shown to be a manipulative and dangerous individual who brutally took the life of a young woman who once trusted him.

"He continues to show no comprehension of the severity of his crimes and the devastation his actions have caused.

"To lose Hannah in such a way has caused indescribable pain to her family, friends and colleagues and my sympathies continue to be with them."

Neil is due to be sentenced at Glasgow High Court on 29th November
