A MAN has been held by police following the deaths of another man and a woman in Dundee.
A 32-year-old man and 43-year-old woman were found dead in Drumlanrig Drive, in the east end of the city on Sunday morning.
A Police Scotland spokesman has confirmed that a 42-year-old man had been detained in connection with the incident and inquires were ongoing.
Detective Chief Inspector Keith Hardie, from Police Scotland's Major Investigation Team, said: "There will be a strong police presence in the area while our investigation continues and I would like to thank the local community in advance for their patience.
"I would also like to take this opportunity to stress that this has been a contained and isolated incident. There has been no threat to the wider public at any stage.
"I would also urge anyone with information to please contact police, likewise anyone who saw or heard anything in the area that could be of assistance."
Anyone with further information can contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 if you would prefer to remain anonymous.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
