Tributes have been paid to a Dundee mother and PhD graduate who died in an incident on South Road.
Dr Fortune Gomo, 39, was found seriously injured on Saturday afternoon and was treated at the scene but later died.
A 20-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the alleged attack.
Fortune worked for Scottish Water, after graduating with a PhD in Geography and Environmental Science from Dundee University.
A Dundee University spokesperson said: “This has been a truly shocking event in our city and for our university community.
“It will be particularly distressing for those who knew and worked with Fortune throughout her time as a PhD student and postdoctoral research assistant in Geography, and for all of those in our close-knit community of African colleagues and students.
“Our thoughts are with her family and friends at this tragic time.”
A large crowd gathered on South Road on Saturday night and a vigil was held in Dundee city centre on Sunday.
Police attended and said the march went ahead “without incident”.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “A 20-year-old man has been arrested after officers were called to the report that a woman in her 30s had been seriously injured in South Road around 4.25pm.
“She was treated by paramedics, however she was pronounced dead at the scene.
“Her family is aware and is being supported by specialist officers.”
Detective Superintendent Peter Sharp, the officer in charge of the inquiry, said: “My thoughts are with the woman’s family at this time and there is no doubt this was a distressing incident for those who witnessed and attended the incident.
“Extensive enquiries are ongoing and I am satisfied that the incident has been contained and there is no wider risk to the public.”
One 61-year-old woman, who has lived in the South Road area for over 50 years, said she was “devastated” to hear about the incident.
“The first we really knew about it was the police taping the street off,” she said.
“I thought someone had been hit by a car.
“I came home around 11pm and could see there was still an extensive police presence. It was upsetting to see what was going.
“I woke up around 2am and looked out and saw things being placed into evidence bags.
“It’s devastating to hear the woman died.”
