A man has been charged in connection with the death of pensioner Esther Brown, who was found dead in her flat in Glasgow’s west end earlier this week.

Brown’s body was found at her home in West Princes Street in the Woodlands area of the city at about 4pm on Tuesday, four days after she was last seen.

Police Scotland said earlier a 30-year-old man had been arrested in connection with the death of the 67-year-old.

They have now charged the man and he is due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday.

Flowers have been left at the gate of a park across the road from where Ms Brown was found, with a card reading “Esther – loved and cherished by us and by Jesus xxx”.

Superintendent Ross Allan said: “Esther was a much loved and active member of the community here in the Woodlands area of Glasgow through her charity work and her willingness and commitment towards helping others.”
