A man has appeared in court accused of murdering a 78-year-old woman in Edinburgh and attempting to murder two others.
Daniel Parker, 36, faced Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Thursday accused of murdering Margaret Parker.
She was pronounced dead at a house in Fernieside Crescent in the south-east of the Scottish capital on Tuesday.
Police were called to a “disturbance” at the property at about 8.25am that day.
Parker, of Edinburgh, is also accused of attempting to murder a 55-year-old woman and a 42-year-old woman.
He made no plea or declaration and was remanded in custody pending a further court date.
