Overview
- Vikki Soloman, 44, was found dead at her home in East Craigs and emergency services attended the property on Monday, July 20, before a police murder inquiry was opened.
- Witnesses say Lee Greenan, 46, walked into the Mid Yoken pub covered in blood and admitted the killing, an account that led to his arrest at the scene.
- Greenan was charged at Edinburgh Sheriff Court with murder and two counts of assault and was remanded in custody before being found dead at HMP Edinburgh, in what the Scottish Prison Service said is understood to be a suicide.
- The Scottish Prison Service confirmed Police Scotland were notified and the Procurator Fiscal has been informed so a death-in-custody process will follow while criminal proceedings cannot continue against Greenan.
- Soloman’s family have vowed to pursue justice for her and community members have organised support for her sons, while campaigners and police point to wider concerns about intimate‑partner violence in Scotland and the role of Fatal Accident Inquiries in deaths in custody.
