The family of a man who died after he was found injured in Edinburgh has paid tribute to him.

Jaymie Hall, 35, was found seriously injured in Dumbryden Gardens, Wester Hailes, last Saturday evening.

He died in hospital shortly afterwards, and Mr Hall's family have thanked the medics who tried to save his life.

David Geddes, 41, has appeared in court charged with his murder.

On Wednesday, Mr Hall's family released a statement through Police Scotland.

They said: "Jaymie was a much-loved father, son and brother. It breaks our hearts to have lost him in such tragic circumstances but he will be lovingly remembered by his family and friends.

"We would like to take this opportunity to thank the NHS staff who tried in vain to save Jaymie and also the police for all their hard work and the support they have given us over the last few days.

"We ask to be left to grieve in private at this time."

On Tuesday, Geddes appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court charged with murder. He was remanded in custody.

Detective inspector David Pinkney, of the major investigations team, said: "This is a tragic incident and our thoughts are with Jaymie's family as they come to terms their loss at this difficult time.

"We are still conducting enquiries surrounding Jaymie's death and I would ask anyone with information to make contact with the major investigations team at Leith Police Station, quoting incident number 5232 of May 27."

Chief inspector Helen Harrison, the local area commander, said: "I would like to thank the local community in Dumbryden Gardens for their support as this enquiry has progressed.

"There will continue to be additional patrols in the local area in the coming days and weeks and we are currently working with our partners at City of Edinburgh Council regarding any concerns from the local community in order for them to feel safe in their local area."

"I would ask anyone with any community concerns to contact local officers at Wester Hailes Police Station. This can be done by ringing 101 or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
