The family of the victim of a suspected murder in Aberdeen have paid tribute to a "wonderful grandmother."
Police Scotland confirmed that a 24-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with Sherry Bruce's death.
Officers had been called out to an incident at a flat on Glenbervie Road on Sunday evening - 58-year-old Sherry had died and a 26-year-old man was seriously injured.
The man was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, where he remains in a stable condition.
In a statement issued through Police Scotland, Ms Bruce's family said: "She was a kind and caring mum with a soft heart who adored everyone she met.
"She was very family oriented and devoted to her job.
"She was loyal and a wonderful grandmother and will be sorely missed."
There have also been tributes from friends on social media who have called her kind hearted and caring lady, who volunteered with the local Boys' Brigade.
The 24-year-old man is due to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court today over her death.
Detective Inspector Gary Winter, of Police Scotland's major investigation team, said: "Our thoughts remain with Sherry's family at what continues to be a difficult time for them.
"I would also like to thank the local community for their patience, help and assistance during our investigation and to those who came forward with information."
He urged anyone with information who has not yet come forward to contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting reference 2499.
The detective inspector earlier said that it appeared to have been an "isolated incident" and there was no wider threat to the local community.
