A WOMAN who was found murdered in her Maryhill home has been named as Jacqueline Grant.
The 54-year-old was found dead in her flat in Cumlodden Drive on Tuesday evening.
Now police have confirmed they are treating her death as murder.
We told previously how Jaqueline's death horrified the community as forensic teams were spotted scouring the scene outside her home for clues.
Her family have been made aware of her death and police are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
We revealed earlier this week how murder cops asked neighbours on Wednesday if they had heard a commotion on Monday night at around 10.30pm. Jaqueline's body was found at around 5.25pm on Tuesday.
Detective Chief Inspector Stuart Grainger, Major Investigation Teams, said: “Jacqueline died as a result of a brutal attack in her home and her family are devastated by what has happened.
“We have a dedicated team of officers dealing with the case supported by local officers and specialist resources including forensic and search trained officers, carrying out a detailed search of her home and the local area.
“Officers have also been checking CCTV in and around the flats and in nearby streets and have been carrying out local enquiries, speaking to neighbours, residents and businesses to try to glean as much information as they can. However, we are still keen to hear from anyone who was in the area either later in the evening or night of Monday, April 5 or the early hours and in to the morning of Tuesday, April 6.
“If you have not yet spoken to police, and have information, no matter how insignificant it may seem to you, about the murder, then please contact Police Scotland via 101, quoting reference number 2388 of April 6, 2021. Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.
“Detectives have also set up an online portal to encourage members of the public to submit any information. This can be accessed by clicking https://mipp.police.uk/operation/SCOT21S11-PO1.”
