Two in court date after death at flat in Aberdeen

TWO women have been arrested in connection with the “unexplained” death of a 38-year-old woman at a flat in Aberdeen.

The body of the woman, named locally as Amanda Leiper, was found on Wednesday in a top-floor flat in Park Road.

The street was cordoned as Grampian Police officers carried out a fingertip search of the surrounding area. Neighbours spoke of a disturbance in the block of flats on Tuesday night.

A spokesman for the force said: “Grampian Police can confirm that two females have been arrested following the incident that took place on Park Road during the evening of Tuesday, 10 July. They are expected to
appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court in due course.”

Detective Chief Inspector Martin Dunn, who is heading the investigation, said: “I would like to thank the public for their assistance and continue to
appeal to anyone who may have any information and has not yet contacted us to do so as soon as possible.”
