Further train disruption as police continue to investigate body found in Dyce

Police are continuing investigations in Dyce after the discovery of a body on Saturday morning.

Officers were called to the roundabout at Victoria Street and Stoneywood Road at around 3.30am.

There has been a significant police presence in the area since, which will continue as inquiries progress.

The death is now being treated as suspicious.

A forensics team has set up a tent near a property in the cordoned off area as part of the investigations.

The roundabout and a section of Victoria Street, up to the junction with Farburn Terrace, has been closed to the public.

Diversions will be in place until further notice with a number of train services also impacted.

Dyce councillors Avril Mackenzie and Neil MacGregor shared condolences for the person’s family and described the incident as a “shock” to the community.
