A man has been charged in connection with the death of an Aberdeen school worker.
Alice Farquharson, 56, was found dead by police in a house in the city’s Angusfield Avenue on Thursday.
The 60-year-old man is expected to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Monday.
Mrs Farquharson’s family said in a statement: “We are completely devastated at the loss of our mum. She was kind and loving and always there for us, putting our needs above her own.
“She was a well-respected and much loved pupil support assistant at Hazlehead Primary School.
“She loved her job and all the children there and we hope they will always remember her for the caring woman she was.”
Detective Inspector Gary Winter, of Police Scotland’s major investigation team, said: “My thoughts are with the family and friends of Alice at this extremely difficult time.
“Anyone who believes they may have information relevant to the investigation is asked to contact 101 quoting reference number 0521 of August 29.”
