Police in Scotland have launched a murder investigation after the death of a woman with strong family connections to Donegal.
Ann Coll, 61, was found with serious injuries in a property on Newfield Place, Rutherglen, Lanarkshire, at around 12.45am on Friday.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The mother-of-three was born in Glasgow.
Her parents were from An tArd Donn in Gaoth Dobhair, Co Donegal, and visited the area frequently throughout her life.
Ms Coll's parents are deceased, but her sister, nieces and nephews are based around Gaoth Dobhair.
Ms Coll's death has been confirmed as suspicious following a post mortem and a murder investigation is ongoing, led by detectives from Police Scotland's Major Investigation Team.
Detective Chief Inspector Lynsey Watters said: "Our thoughts are with Ann’s family and we are providing them with support at this very difficult time.
"Our investigation into her murder is ongoing and I would urge anyone who can help to get in touch as soon as you can.
"I would ask anyone who believes they may have seen or heard anything which may be suspicious around the area to get in touch with us."
She added: "Extensive enquiries are ongoing in the area and officers continue to work door-to-door, along with other lines of investigation.
"There will be an additional police presence in the area as this work continues and I would urge anyone who has any concerns, or who believes they may have information to speak to our officers."
