Mum, 39, dies after being found injured on street as police launch murder probe
Officers were called to a report that a woman had been seriously injured at around 4.25pm on Saturday. She was treated by paramedics but pronounced dead at the scene Police have launched a murder inquiry after 39-year-old mum died after being found seriously injured in the street. Yesterday afternoon emergency services rushed to South Road at about 4.25pm upon receiving reports of a woman on the road sustaining severe injuries Despite the swift response of paramedics, the woman was pronounced dead at the scene. A 20-year-old man has been charged, but no further details have been given. Police have now identified the victim as Dr Fortune Gomo, a mother who had been residing in the area. Police Scotland have now confirmed:"A post-mortem has taken place and her death is now being treated as murder." As tributes pour in, a lifelong friend from her high school and university days in Zimbabwe remembers Dr Gomo's exceptional intellect and heartfelt nature. Angela Machonesa, who studied alongside Dr Gomo both at Chinhoyi High School and the National University of Science and Technology, took to social media to honour her friend's memory. Angela said: "She was the kind of person you'd go to when you needed clarity, not just of mind, but of heart. She listened. She cared. She uplifted. No wonder she went on to earn her PhD. It was only natural. Her path was written in the stars long ago. To serve. To lead. To heal. And she was doing just that." Lamenting the heinous act that cut short a life dedicated to service, Angela stated: "But now, that dream, our Fortune's dream, has been violently, senselessly, stolen from us all." In a heart-wrenching conclusion, she expressed sorrow for the irreplaceable loss for Dr Gomo's child and family: "A child will now grow up without the love and presence of a mother. A family will mourn a daughter who once lit up their home with hope and promise." Ms Machonesa revealed that her paths diverged from Dr Gomo after they completed their studies. Dr Gomo, an environmental and water resources scientist, had expertise in areas such as water management, environmental sustainability, and policy creation. Her social media profile indicated she worked at Scottish Water, focusing on water resources planning. The University of Dundee awarded her a doctorate in Geography and Environmental Science. For her PhD, Dr Gomo examined the relationship between environmental concerns and policymaking within Malawi's Zambezi river basin. BBC News reported Professor Nigel Seaton, interim principal and vice-chancellor of the University of Dundee, expressing that the passing of the former research associate "is a truly shocking event in our city and for our university community". Professor Seaton shared his condolences, noting: "It will be particularly distressing for those who knew and worked with Fortune throughout her time here at the university, and for all of those in our close-knit community of African colleagues and students." A legal report is to be presented to the Procurator Fiscal, while the apprehended man is set to face Dundee Sheriff Court on Monday. Detective Superintendent Peter Sharp, leading the investigation, conveyed his sympathy towards Dr Gomo's loved ones. Sharp asked for the family's privacy during this time, stating: "They are being supported by specialist officers and I would ask that their privacy is respected,". Furthermore, Det Supt Sharp stated: "Our enquiries are continuing and I remain satisfied that the incident poses no wider risk to the public. At this early stage of the investigation we are following a number of lines of inquiry." He said he is "acutely aware of content circulating on social media" and urged members of the public not to speculate on the circumstances of the incident. There will be an increased police presence in the area. Witnesses and anyone with information on the incident have been asked to contact the force on 101 quoting incident number 2283 of July 5 2025. They can also speak to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Sicko Scots mum behind monkey torture ring flogged sordid snaps on ONLYFANS
We can reveal Natalie Herron sold sordid snaps on sex site OnlyFans. A DEPRAVED Scots mum jailed for encouraging the torture of baby monkeys also flogged filthy pics of herself online. We can reveal Natalie Herron sold sordid snaps on sex site OnlyFans. Advertisement 2 She shared sickening videos of tiny monkeys being badly abused Last month she was jailed for two years and three months for her role in the animal abuse network. Herron, 39, of Airdrie, sold the pornographic images for cash while she helped lead a worldwide monkey abuse ring, which paid thugs to rip tiny macaques from their mothers in Indonesia then butcher them. The terrified animals were killed in agonising ways dreamt up by the group, including by crucifixion and machete attacks. The deranged fiend, from Airdrie, Lanarkshire, also binged on horrendous online clips of humans being decapitated, boasting: 'It goes beyond a hobby. It's almost a way of life.' Herron was sentenced at the town's sheriff court last month. Advertisement But it has now emerged she made a living from selling saucy snaps to perverts. A local said: 'It's likely she was going between stripping off for cash and watching monkeys being abused. 'It takes a seriously warped mind to sell sexy stuff while you are involved in animal torture. But nothing surprises me about her. 'She lived out all her sick fantasies online and hid her evil obsessions from her friends and family.' 2 Natalie Herron was jailed Advertisement Mother-of-two Herron hid her evil obsession by pretending to be an animal lover. The Scottish Sun unmasked Herron by printing the first picture of her. She was finally snared when US cops took down group ringleader Michael Macartney, 51, whose alias was 'The Torture King'. Inside 'hellhole' zoo with monkeys chained by necks & deer knee-deep in filth Scots cops found 1,084 images and videos of monkey torture on her iPhone. She admitted possessing and distributing obscene material between October 2021 and September 2022.
