Ayr murder victim named as police continue probe into death of woman

Police have named the woman found murdered at a flat in Ayr on Monday morning.

Detectives have confirmed that the body of a 41 year-old found in Nursery Hall was that of Susan Turner, from the Whitletts area of the town.

Police Scotland’s Major Investigation Team confirmed that the death is being treated as murder following a post mortem yesterday.

Detective Chief Inspector Peter Sharp said: "Our thoughts and are with the Ms Turner's family and friends at this very difficult time.

"We have a dedicated team of officers working on this investigation and extensive enquiries are ongoing at this time.

"Officers are gathering CCTV footage from the surrounding area and door to door inquiries are also being carried out.

"I am keen to speak to anyone with any private CCTV, dashcam, doorbell or any other footage that they think would assist the enquiry.

"We will have a continued police presence in the area and anyone with any concerns can approach these officers.

"It is vital that we find out more about what has happened as soon as we can and I would like to reassure the community that officers are working to trace whoever is responsible.

"I am appealing to the community to get in touch with us with any information they have, no matter how insignificant it might seem, please pass it on to officers."

Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 0920 of Monday, 27 March, 2023, or please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be given anonymously.
