A Gambian national, Sheikh Saine, has been charged in Scotland in connection with the death of a Greenock woman who was found dead in a city centre shop.
Fatou Saine, 33, died following an incident within McColl's newsagents, in St Enoch's Square, Glasgow, a week ago.
Law student Fatou Saine, 33, who worked in the shop and was originally from Gambia, died last week in the RS McColl store in St Enoch Square, Glasgow.
Her husband Sheikh Saine, 43, was charged yesterday in connection with her death.
As police issued the first picture of Fatou, it emerged the mum-of-one had started at Glasgow University last September, around the time she is thought to have split up with her husband.
She was working at the newsagent to support her studies.
Dr Kevin Francis, who is in charge of access courses at university, said she had been studying law and philosophy and had been offered places on full law degrees at two universities.
Fatou, originally from Gambia, was described by tutors as bright, popular and hardworking.
On her application for the course, written last summer, she wrote:
"I have a seven-year-old son and want him to see that giving up in life is not always an option and that you can always do what you set your heart to do."
Dr Francis said: "Fatou clearly held true to this vision of how a life should be lived. We send our sympathies to her son, family and friends."
Fatou and her husband lived in Greenock. She moved to Glasgow's south side after they split.
Her son is being cared for by family in the Gambia.
Sheikh Saine was taken to hospital after allegedly harming himself after the attack last Tuesday and had appeared before Glasgow Sheriff Court today.
Yesterday, a policespokesman said: "A full report will be sent to the procurator fiscal."
