Police Scotland have confirmed that they now know the identity of the woman whose body was discovered on Corstorphine Hill, Edinburgh last month, but they have said that they will not be in a position to name her until next of kin have been contacted. They believe it may take until the beginning of the week before they can name the murder victim.
Detective Chief Inspector Keith Hardie from Police Scotland’s Major Investigation Team said: – “Identifying the victim was the first priority of this murder investigation and I would like to thank the public and the media for their help in achieving that aim.
“While this is positive news, it also means that a loved one has been lost. We are progressing our inquiries into the circumstances of this woman’s death and to finding those responsible for it.”
