Detectives want to speak to a man who was believed to have attended the home of a Perthshire woman who was found with serious injuries last month.
Officers say they still do not know exactly how the 86-year-old was injured. She was discovered by her family at her Kirkhill Drive address in Luncarty at around 9.30pm on Friday, May 28.
The victim remains in hospital receiving treatment and police have been conducting enquiries to establish how she came to sustain her injuries and are seeking to trace anyone who may have attended her address in the days leading up to when she was found.
Officers say a man is believed to have attended her address in the working days prior to Friday, May 28.
He is described as a white man, aged in his 50s, with short spiky grey hair and grey stubble. He was wearing glasses, a black fleece and dark trousers and was carrying a black folder.
Detective Inspector Marc Lorente from the Specialist Crime Division said: “A significant amount of enquiry has been carried out since this incident was reported and how the woman came to be injured is still unclear.
“Our enquiries are focusing on people who may have been in the Kirkhill Drive area of Luncarty during the week commencing Monday, May 24, including the described man. The address is at the junction with the main road through Luncarty and we’d ask anyone who noticed any unknown vehicles in the area, at the address or in the vicinity, to get in touch.”
Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland on 101 and quote Operation Jackdrop, or incident 2847 of May 29. Information can be given to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
