The family of a 58-year-old woman found dead in a property in Aberdeen on Sunday have paid tribute to the 'wonderful grandmother'.
Emergency services, included armed officers, raced to Glenbervie Road in the Torry area at around 6pm on Sunday following reports of a man and woman found injured within a property.
The woman was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Police on Monday evening confirmed the woman who died was grandmother Sherry Bruce.
A 24-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with Sherry's death and is due to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Tuesday.
Sherry's grieving family issued a statement through Police Scotland and said she was a 'kind and caring mum' and 'wonderful grandmother' who will be 'sorely missed'.
It read: "She was a kind and caring mum with a soft heart who adored everyone she met.
"She was very family oriented and devoted to her job.
"She was loyal and a wonderful grandmother and will be sorely missed."
