Woman found dead in Scots home as cops swoop on street and man arrested

A woman has been found dead at a home in Peterhead. Emergency services raced to Catto Drive in the Aberdeenshire town after the alarm was raised at around 6.15pm on Tuesday.

Officers were made aware of a concern for a 58-year-old woman at the property. Upon arrival the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police launched a probe following the discovery. The force confirmed this morning that a 30-year-old man had been arrested in connection with the woman's death.
