Man due in court over Lee Duncan death in Edinburgh

Lee Duncan: Body was found in a flat in Lauriston Place in February 2011.

A man has been charged in connection with the death of a man in Edinburgh over a year ago.

The 44-year-old was arrested and charged in relation to the alleged murder of Lee Duncan, 31, who was found dead in his flat in the Tollcross area in February 2011.

A £1000 reward had been offered for information to catch his killer.

Mr Duncan's sister, Melanie Purdie, had previously made an emotional appeal for help in the case, describing her brother as "a soft-natured character who would never hurt a soul".

Lothian and Borders Police said the arrested man was due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff court on Monday.

Mr Duncan lived in Lauriston Place, Edinburgh, and his body was found on the morning of February 25 last year.
