A 16-year-old has been arrested after a man was found dead on an Edinburgh street in the middle of the night.
Officers were called out to reports of a man injured at Great Junction Street, near the bottom of Leith Walk, at around 2.10am on Tuesday, September 2.
A 22-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene.

“Officers remain in the area carrying out enquiries as our investigation continues, and we would urge anyone with concerns to speak to them.”
