A woman found dead at a flat in Woodlands could have lain undiscovered for four days.
The body of a 67-year-old woman was found within a flat in West Princes Street around 4pm on Tuesday, June 1.
A major police investigation has been launched to establish exactly how the woman died with the death currently being treated as suspicious. Formal identification is also still due to take place.
Detectives are appealing for anyone who seen anything 'untoward' or 'unusual' on West Princes Street or in that surrounding area between Friday, May 28 and Tuesday, June 1 - when the body was discovered - to come forward.
Investigations are at an early stage and police are trying to piece together the circumstances surrounding the incident which took place in a residential area.
Additional officers have been deployed to the Woodlands area to reassure the public following the 'distressing incident'.
Detective Superintendent Suzie Chow, of Police Scotland’s Major Investigation Teams and senior investigating officer said: "Whilst we are at the early stages of the investigation into this suspicious death, we are following up a number of lines of enquiry and I would ask anyone who has any information that could assist with our investigation to please get in touch. It is imperative that we trace whoever is responsible for this woman's death as soon as possible.
"The area of West Princes Street is very residential and we are sure that there will be people who may have witnessed something untoward in the lead up to the discovery of the woman's body yesterday. If you have any information, no matter how insignificant it might seem to you, please contact us as soon as possible."
Superintendent Ross Allan of Greater Glasgow Police Division, said: "This is a very distressing incident and we understand that the local community will be extremely shocked and concerned about this, but I would like to take this opportunity to reassure them that we have a team of officers working alongside our detective colleagues to trace whoever is responsible for this crime.
"Additional officers will be in and around the local community of Woodlands and I would encourage anyone with any concerns or any information to approach these officers."
Detectives have set up an online portal to encourage members of the public to submit information. The Major Incident Public Portal (MIPP) is a website that gives the public access to a form so they can send information directly to the major incident teams based at the Scottish Crime Campus.
Anyone with any information can also contact police via 101 quoting reference number 2559 of Tuesday, 1 June.
