THE family of a man found dead in Aberdeen say they are ‘shocked and saddened’ by their sudden loss.
The body of 65-year-old Alan Cowie was discovered in his home at Alexander Terrace, Tillydrone, on Wednesday.
A statement issued on behalf of Mr Cowie’s family said: “As a family we have been left shocked and saddened by Alan’s sudden death.
“We would ask for privacy at this difficult time as we try to come to terms with our loss.”
A 52-year-old woman was charged last night in connection with Mr Cowie’s death and is expected to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court today.
Detective Inspector Gary Winter, of Police Scotland’s Major Investigation Team, said: “I would like to thank the members of the public who have assisted with our enquiries so far.
“A visible police presence will remain in the area while our enquiries continue, and I would ask for your continued patience.
“Our thoughts are with Mr Cowie’s family and friends at this difficult time.”
