Murder investigation launched after death of Dunoon woman

Mairi Doherty from Dunoon died in hospital on Tuesday

A MURDER investigation has been launched following the death of a 41-year-old woman from Dunoon. 

Mairi Doherty sustained serious injuries during a "disturbance" at flats in the town early on Saturday morning.

After police were called, she was taken to Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital where she died on on Tuesday.

A 43-year-old man and 40-year-old woman have appeared in court, having been arrested and charged in connection with the disturbance.

Detective Chief Inspector Stuart Grainger, of Police Scotland’s Major Investigation Team, said: “Our thoughts are very much with Mairi’s family. This is a very difficult time for them and I want to reassure them, and the wider community, that we are doing all we can to establish the full circumstances of what happened.

“There were a number of people in and around the block of flats at the time of this incident and I would urge anyone who has not spoken to officers to get in touch.

“If you saw anything then please contact us, as even a small piece of information could help with our enquiries. In addition, if you have private CCTV footage that could assist, please make us aware.”

People with information should contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0304 of Saturday, 23 July, 2022.
