I understand that a number of you may be concerned by the recent deaths of three gay men within Edinburgh, which have been widely reported in the media. I am also aware that some of those reports have suggested that the three deaths may be linked.
At this stage I would like to reassure you that there is nothing to suggest that those deaths are linked, however an open mind is being kept as to the enquiry into each of the incidents progresses.
Lothian and Borders Police recognise the potential concern that those incidents may have within the LGB &T community, however I would like to take this opportunity to reassure you that we will continue to work closely with all of our communities and the organisations representing those communities to ensure that the Force area remains a safe place to live, work and visit.
To allow us to continue to monitor the impact of those incidents on the LGB&T community, it is essential that people remain confident about reporting a crime to the Police i

How can you help?Missing man - Edinburgh
Lothian and Borders Police are appealing for information from the public to trace the whereabouts of a young man who is missing from his home in Edinburgh. Twenty-one-year-old Christopher Dalziel, from Restalrig Road, was last seen at his work on Friday (November 25), but was reported missing on Monday (November 28) when he did not turn up for work. Christopher is described as being white, 6ft 3ins tall, of slim build, with blue eyes, blonde/ginger hair with a fair complexion and moles on his neck. A police spokesperson said: "When he was at his work on Friday, Christopher said he was going to go out that night, but he has not been seen since: we know he usually goes out to pubs in the Leith Walk area. "We're concerned that he's not been in touch with his friends or family over the weekend so we're keen to hear from anyone who may have seen him, or know where he is." Anyone with any information should contact Lothian and Borders Police on 0131 311 3131 or the charity Crimestoppers in confidence and complete anonymity on 0800 555 111. |
