A 44-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested following the death of a “much loved” 36-year-old man in Aberdeenshire.
At around 8.35pm on Wednesday, police were called to a property on Gordon Place, Ellon, where Martin Forgie was found dead.
His family were made aware and are being supported by specialist officers.
A post-mortem examination will be carried out in due course.
Forgie, from Maud, was remembered by his family in a statement released through Police Scotland. They said: “Martin was a much loved son, brother, father, nephew, grandson and uncle. He will be greatly missed.
“We ask for our privacy as a family to be respected at this difficult time.”
The 44-year-old man was arrested in connection with the death.
Inquiries are ongoing.
Detective inspector Rory Campbell, of Police Scotland, said: “Our thoughts remain with Forgie’s family and friends at this extremely difficult time.
“Officers will remain in the area while inquiries are carried out.”
Anyone with information can ring 101 quoting reference 3400 of October 9 or phone Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
