Another man's been charged in connection with the death of two men on Edinburgh's Greendykes Road.

A 40-year-old's been charged after a 65-year-old appeared in court on Friday.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "A 40-year-old man has been charged in connection with the death of two men in Greendykes Road in Edinburgh.

"The man is due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Monday, 7 November, 2022."

Police said earlier this week that their thoughts are with the families and friends of the two men who died.

Detective Chief Inspector Susan Balfour, of the Major Investigation Team, said: “Our thoughts are very much with the families and friends of both men at what is a very difficult time for them.

"We understand that this is an upsetting incident for the local community and I would urge anyone with concerns to speak to one of our officers."
