DETECTIVES have revealed the identity of a woman who was found dead in a West End flat. 

Murder cops launched an investigation after the discovery at West Princes Street on Tuesday at around 4pm.

Cops have now revealed that the 67-year-old woman was Esther Brown, who was well known in the area for her charity work with a local church and food banks. 

It was revealed that the investigating team are not ruling out someone who doesn't live locally as Ms Brown's potential attacker, and that cops are trying to piece together the scene. 

A post-mortem is still ongoing. 

In a statement, Detective Superintendent Suzie Chow, of Police Scotland’s Major Investigation Teams and senior investigating officer, said: “Our investigation into the circumstances surrounding Esther’s death continues and our thoughts remain with her family and friends at this difficult time. 

“We are continuing to follow a number of lines of enquiry but require help from the public to assist with our investigation.  

“If you were in the area in the days leading up to Tuesday, 1 June, 2021 and may have noticed anything suspicious, I would ask that you get in contact with police. 

“Additional patrols will be in the area and if anyone has any concerns or information please speak to officers.”

Ms Brown was last seen at 5.30pm on Friday. 

Superintendent Ross Allan, of Greater Glasgow Division, added: "We continue to work closely with our detective colleagues and would again like to take this opportunity to reassure the public that we are working tirelessly to identify the perpetrator.

"Additional officers remain in the area and we have now set up an incident caravan on West Princes Street and would encourage anyone who has any concerns to speak to any officer in the vicinity."
