Tributes have been paid following the death of a woman found dead within a Lanarkshire home this week.
The body of Emma Baillie was discovered within a property in Calder Street in Coatbridge on Tuesday evening.
Confirmation comes as police launched an investigation into her death and that of 51-year-old, John Paul Duffy, whose body was found in a flat nearby two days before.
A 46-year-old man has been charged in connection with both deaths, which the force say are being treated as murder.
Emma, aged just 26, was today confirmed as the second death during a major probe in Coatbridge this week.
