A MAN has been arrested in London after a 55-year-old was found dead more than 400 miles away in Perth.
The body of Ian Menzies was discovered in a property in Scott Street at about 8.50pm on Monday.
Emergency services had been called after a report of concern for a person.
Officers have now arrested a 36-year-old man in the London area in connection with the death.
Detective Inspector Gary Winter, of Police Scotland’s Major Investigation Team, said: “There will be a continued police presence in Perth in the coming days and I would like to thank local residents for your patience meantime.”
A statement issued by the Menzies family through police said: “Ian was the best dad, grandad and brother in the world. He was caring, respected and loved dearly by friends and family.
“Words cannot express how sorely he will be missed.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
