An 18 year old man has been charged in connection with the death of a 15-year-old Willowbrae girl found dead on Calton Hill on 8 December last year. He will appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court later today.
Mhari O’Neill’s body was found by a member of the public at about 06:30 after she had been reported missing in the early hours of the Saturday morning.
Det Insp Susan Balfour, of Police Scotland, said: “Our sympathies remain with Mhari’s family at this time.
“We will now begin the work to prepare this case for court and I would like to thank all members of the public who came forward with information to assist the investigation.”
