A man accused of murdering his ex-partner at her Craigievar Square home in East Craigs last Monday has been found dead in prison.
Lee Greenan was arrested and he appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Thursday, charged with assaulting and killing Vikki Soloman. 46-year-old Greenan entered no plea and was remanded in custody.
He was due to appear at court again next week, but this morning (Sunday) it was confirmed that Greenan had died at around 8.55am in HMP Edinburgh.
A Scottish Prison Service spokesperson told STV: “Every death, whether in prison custody or in our communities, is a tragedy for all those who knew and supported the individual.
“Following the death of someone in our care, Police Scotland are advised, and the matter reported to the Procurator Fiscal. Fatal Accident Inquiries are held in due course.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 8.55am on Sunday, July 26, 2026, we were made aware of the death of a 46-year-old man at HMP Edinburgh.
“There do not appear to be any suspicious circumstances and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.”
