Whitehill Industrial Estate
A man has been arrested after remains found on an industrial estate more than three months ago were identified.
The remains were found inside a unit on the estate in Whitehill Road, Glenrothes, on Sunday September 27 last year.
Police released a facial reconstruction created by experts at Liverpool John Moores University as part of their efforts to identify them.
They have now been identified as those of Ean Coutts, 61, who lived in the village of Kinglassie in Fife.
Police said his death is being treated as suspicious and appealed for information.
A 30-year-old man was arrested in connection with the death on Tuesday and released pending further inquiries.
