Dead man's family sought

POLICE are appealing for help to trace the relatives of a man found dead in his home in Edinburgh on Christmas Eve.

There are no suspicious circumstances and a report has been sent to the Procurator Fiscal.

Mr Kilpatrick was born in the west of Scotland and police believe he may have a son living in the Livingston area.
