Tributes have been paid to a Dundee woman who died in an alleged incident in the city on Bonfire Night.
The victim, Yvonne Barr, was found at an address in Aboyne Avenue last Friday.
The 47-year-old’s partner, Kenneth Melville, was charged with her murder when he appeared in private at Dundee Sheriff Court yesterday.
The 58-year-old made no plea and was remanded in custody. He is due to appear again next week.
Police continued to probe the incident at the flat today.
As forensics officers carried out their work, locals paid tribute to the grandmother.
Writing on Facebook, one said: “Such a crying shame, thoughts go out to ur family. Rip.”
While another wrote: “Rip Yvonne you was a great person.”
A local who lives in a nearby block said: "“Aye she was a nice enough woman. I’ve been here eight years, she’s been here about 10.
“Didn’t really know her all that well, just saw her if she was going up the backies to get bread, milk, fags and that. “
"But aye, a nice enough woman.”
Another said: “This is just horrible news to hear.
“Yvonne was a caring person who would have done anything for anyone.
While another neighbour added: “I’m absolutely heartbroken to hear she has died.
“I’ve known her for around seven years, she was such a lovely woman, her door was always open to have a chat.
“I can’t believe that she has died.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Officers were called to a report of a concern for person around 6.10am on Friday, 5 November, at an address in Aboyne Avenue, Dundee.
"Emergency services attended and a 47-year-old woman was taken by ambulance to Ninewells Hospital for treatment, but later died.
"A 58-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with the incident.”
