A 60-year-old man has been charged following the death of a woman in Aberdeen.

She has been named as Alice Farquharson, 56. Police were called to the house on Angusfield Avenue on Thursday.

The man is expected to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Monday.

Ms Farquharson's family said they were "devastated" at the loss of the "kind and loving" mum, who was "always there" and put her family's needs first.

A statement they released added: "She was a well-respected and much loved pupil support assistant at Hazlehead Primary School.

"She loved her job and all the children there and we hope they will always remember her for the caring woman she was."
