A couple who were found dead in the Scotsman Hotel, Edinburgh, last week have been named by police.

Igor Pavlov, 27, and 35-year-old Daria Kuchuk, from Russia, had been living in Edinburgh.

Their bodies were discovered by hotel staff at about 12:15 last Thursday.

Police said the couple's deaths were chemical-related and that inquiries had established that they took the chemical into the hotel with them.

A number of items seized from the room are still undergoing forensic analysis.

A search was carried out at an address in the Royal Mile last Friday, however, no further traces of chemicals were found.
