The family of a 54-year-old woman killed in Aberdeen earlier this month say she leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter and treasured memories.

Samantha Lee was pronounced dead after emergency crews were called to a flat on Bedford Road on the 4th of January.

Police are treating her death as murder.

39-year-old Joseph Greer appeared in court in connection last week.

Samantha’s family have shared the following statement: “Our mum Sam, who always put her family first, was an incredible nanny, loving, patient and endlessly caring. She was infectiously funny, she had a rare ability to light up any room and make people feel at ease, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter and treasured memories that will never be forgotten.”
