A man has been charged with the murder of a woman in Edinburgh.

The body of Marie Walker, 61, was found at a house on Pennywell Road around 9.30am on Tuesday.

An injured man who was also in the house was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh for treatment.

Police arrested a 62-year-old man in connection with Ms Walker's death on Wednesday and have now charged him with murder.

He is scheduled to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Friday. Detective inspector Susan Balfour of Police Scotland's Major Investigation Team said: "We recognise that this incident was of great shock to the local community.

"We are satisfied this is an isolated matter and we are not looking for anyone else in connection with the death."
