Ramsay El-Nakla, 36, Stephen Stewart, 50, and Victoria McGowan, 41, were arrested in connection with the incident and subsequently released. El-Nakla is the brother of Scotland's first minister Mr Yousaf's wife, Dundee councillor Nadia El-Nakla.

In an update on Thursday (January 18), a Police Scotland spokesperson, said: "Around 8.20am on Wednesday 10 January 2024, we received a report a man had fallen from a block of flats in the Morgan Street area of Dundee. A 36-year-old man was taken to Ninewells Hospital for treatment for serious injuries, where he died on Wednesday 17 January."
