Drains object ‘not a link’ in murder case

POLICE have searched the drains along Lothian Road and the nearby area as part of the ongoing investigation into the murder of Lee Duncan.

A council workman found an object inside the drain outside the Odeon Cinema and reported the find to police yesterday.

One onlooker said the object looked like a home-made weapon.

A police spokeswoman said it was not related to the murder of Mr Duncan, 31, whose body was found on February 25.
