Police have been investigating since Thursday

A woman who was murdered in Elgin has been named by police.

Officers were called to a property in Anderson Drive at about 19:20 on Thursday where the 32-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.

She has now been named as Kiesha Donaghy.

Police Scotland said a dedicated team of detectives was working to find out what happened to Ms Donaghy and identify whoever was responsible for her death.

Det Supt Lorna Ferguson said: "Incidents such as this are thankfully extremely rare and we understand that Kiesha's death has had a significant impact on the local community in Elgin and across Moray.

"This is of course felt most strongly by her family and we are providing them with specialist support as our investigation continues."

She added: "I would once again urge anyone who believes they may have information which could help our investigation to come forward and speak to us. Even if what you know feels insignificant, it could be useful to our investigation so I would urge you to get in touch.

"A police presence is likely to remain in Elgin in the coming days as our investigation progresses and if anyone has any information or concerns you can approach one of our officers."
