The woman's remains were discovered on Corstorphine Hill in Edinburgh.
The woman whose body was discovered in a shallow grave in a city nature reserve last month has been identified by police.
Police Scotland say they know the identity of the murdered woman who was found by a cyclist on Edinburgh’s Corstorphine Hill on June 6. Her name will not be released until her next of kin have been informed.
Detective Chief Inspector Keith Hardie said: “Identifying the victim was the first priority of this murder investigation and I would like to thank the public and the media for their help in achieving that aim.
“While this is positive news, it also means that a loved one has been lost. We are progressing our inquiries into the circumstances of this woman’s death and to finding those responsible for it.”
Police said they received around 30 calls about a facial reconstruction image of the woman, which they released on Monday.
The image was produced by experts at University of Dundee using CT scans of the woman’s skull. Images of Mary Queen of Scots, Robert Burns and Richard III have been produced by the same method.
