A man has appeared in court charged with the murder of a two-year-old boy in Edinburgh.
Julius Czapla was found seriously injured after police were called to an address on Muirhouse West Place at 9.30am on Saturday.
The toddler was tragically pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.
Lucasz Czapla, 40, appeared from custody at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Thursday charged with murder.
Czapla, from Edinburgh, made no plea, was committed for further examination, and remanded in custody.
Pictures of the adorable youngster were left amongst floral tributes near his Edinburgh home by heartbroken friends, loved ones and neighbours.
One handwritten card read: “Sleep tight little man. May you rest in peace.”
Another said: “Taken far too soon. RIP little one. Fly high with the angels.”
A third added: “RIP little man. Fly high with the angels. Thoughts are with your mummy and family.”
