A man has appeared in court charged with the murder of a woman in Edinburgh.
Emergency crews were called to a disturbance at a house in the city's Craigievar Square at about 8.45pm on Monday.
Police Scotland said Vikki Soloman, 44, was found with serious injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Lee Greenan, 46, was arrested and charged in connection with the aesthetician's death.
He appeared before Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Thursday, where he made no plea to three separate charges - assault to injury, murder, and assault.
The suspect, of Edinburgh, was remanded in custody and is due back in the dock within the next eight days.
Local businesswoman Ms Soloman was the owner of Vikki Soloman Aesthetics.
Scottish Liberal Democrats leader Alex Cole-Hamilton worked closely with Ms Soloman as new laws governing the beauty and aesthetics sector passed through Holyrood in March.
In a post on Facebook, the MSP for Edinburgh North Western said: "She was a proud ambassador for her industry and taught me so much about her line of work.
"She loved what she did and I enjoyed her effervescent charm every time we met.
"The police must now be allowed to do their job and provide much needed answers, but this is a shocking incident and it will cast a long shadow over our community.
"My thoughts are with her children and those who loved her at this awful time."
