Corstorphine Hill murder: Son charged over Phyllis Dunleavy's death | |
(35 minutes later) | |
The son of a 66-year-old woman whose body was found in a shallow grave on Corstorphine Hill in Edinburgh has been charged with her murder. | |
After a month-long appeal for information about the woman's identity, police have revealed that she was Phyllis Dunleavy, from Dublin. | |
Her son James Dunleavy, known as Seamus, has been arrested and is due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court. | |
The 39-year-old lived in Edinburgh, close to where the body was found. | |
Mrs Dunleavy's remains were found by a cyclist on Corstorphine Hill in the west of the city on 6 June. But it took detectives a month to identify her. | |
The breakthrough came when they released a computer-generated image of her face, based on a CT scan of her skull. | |
A member of her family in Ireland saw the image and contacted police. | |
It is understood Mrs Dunleavy had been visiting her son, who lives at the foot of Corstorphine Hill. |
