Sean Flynn had been due to stand trial for a second time after being cleared of killing Louise Tiffney in 2005.

A man who was set to stand trial for the second time accused of murdering his mother has been found dead in Spain.Ms Tiffney, who was 43, was last seen outside her flat in the Dean Village area of Edinburgh in May 2002.

Following extensive searches and repeated appeals from her family, her body was eventually found in 2017 in Longniddry, East Lothian. Last year prosecutors were given permission to bring fresh prosecution under double jeopardy laws, which mean someone can be tried again on the same charges.The body of Louise Tiffney was only found 15 years after she went missing from her home in Edinburgh

Mr Flynn was accused of murder and attempting to defeat the ends of justice by concealing his mother's body in the boot of a car before driving to woods and disposing of it.His lawyer Aamer Anwar said he had been advised by police in Spain that Mr Flynn, 37, had been found dead after taking his own life.

He said: "Any loss of life is a tragedy. Sean Flynn's next of kin has been informed and there will be no further comment."
