Detectives probing the "suspicious" death of a woman in Glasgow have launched a video appeal for information.
Forensic officers swarmed a property on West Princes Street in the Woodlands area of the city at around 4pm on Tuesday afternoon following the discovery of a 67-year-old woman.
Officers have launched a major investigation and in a video appeal cops have revealed they would like anyone who saw anything "untoward or unusual" in the area from Friday, May 28, to get in touch.
In the video, Detective Superintendent Suzie Chow says: "We are investigating the suspicious death of a woman in West Princes Street in Glasgow.
"I am appealing for witnesses who may have seen anything untoward or unusual within West Princes Street or in that surrounding area from Friday 28th of May right through to Tuesday 1st of June about 5 o'clock.
"The lady's body was found within a flat on West Princes Street.
"It's the early, early stages of the enquiry and we are trying to piece together what happened and what the circumstances are."
Police could be seen scouring the area across from the flat this afternoon.
Around five forensic officers wearing white suits and hair nets entered the flat to carry out investigative work.
The street was blocked off and no one was allowed to enter as police tape cordoned off three separate areas.
Two communal bins on the street were also preserved with police tape.
Local residents in the area described the street as "quiet" and said they were only aware of a disturbance when officers arrived on Tuesday afternoon.
A police officer stood guard at each end of the street as another officer remained on the stairs of the property.
Detectives are urging anyone with information to get in touch as soon as possible and lines of enquiry are currently underway to formally identify the woman.
Superintendent Chow said: "The area of West Princes Street is very residential and we are sure that there will be people who may have witnessed something untoward in the lead up to the discovery of the woman's body yesterday. If you have any information, no matter how insignificant it might seem to you, please contact us as soon as possible."
Superintendent Ross Allan of Greater Glasgow Police Division, said: "This is a very distressing incident and we understand that the local community will be extremely shocked and concerned about this, but I would like to take this opportunity to reassure them that we have a team of officers working alongside our detective colleagues to trace whoever is responsible for this crime.
"Additional officers will be in and around the local community of Woodlands and I would encourage anyone with any concerns or any information to approach these officers."
Detectives have set up an online portal to encourage members of the public to submit information.
Anyone with any information can also contact police via 101 quoting reference number 2559 of Tuesday, June 1.
