A 46-year-old man has been charged in connection with the death of a 44-year-old woman in Edinburgh.
The man is due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Thursday, with police confirming the charge follows the death of the woman in the capital.
Detectives from Police Scotland investigated the circumstances surrounding the woman’s death, leading to the arrest and formal charging of the suspect.
Authorities have not yet released further details about the nature of the charge or the identity of either the accused or the deceased woman, but a court appearance is scheduled to take place this week.
The case will now move through the Scottish legal system, with the accused set to face Edinburgh Sheriff Court where the charge will be formally put to him.
Police Scotland has not issued any further statements at this stage, and proceedings are expected to continue in the coming days as the case develops.
