Police forces are trying to demystify the movements Of Saima Ahmed, a woman who passed through Birmingham before being found dead on a golf course in Edinburgh. <\/strong><\/p>\n

After a detailed forensic examination of the area, officers confirmed the identity of the body found as the missing London local Saima Ahmed, who was reported missing in August last year.<\/p>\n

A national appeal for information has been launched as police try to distinguish what took her from London to Edinburgh where body was discovered.<\/p>\n

Body of missing Saima Ahmed found on a Golf Course in Edinburgh.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Saima Ahmed was caught on CCTV at Wembley Central station before she came to Birmingham. The 36-year-old is said to have passed through Birmingham, and officers are keen to establish why she did and where she went in the city.<\/p>\n

Head of crime operations for Edinburgh CID, Detective Chief Inspector Martin MacLean<\/a><\/span> has said: \u201cI have met personally with Saima Ahmed\u2019s family and have passed my condolences to them at this tragic and extremely difficult time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have given them a commitment that we are doing everything we can to establish why Saima travelled to Edinburgh and the exact circumstances that led to her death.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this stage of our inquiry we continue to treat Saima\u2019s death as unexplained, however there is no evidence of criminality as matters currently stand.<\/p>\n

\u201cClearly there are a number of matters and facts we have yet to establish, and it remains a mystery to Saima\u2019s family why she travelled to Edinburgh.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her exact route is currently unknown. Police believe she may have travelled to Hemel Hempstead, Birmingham and then on to Edinburgh.<\/p>\n

Police believe she left her home in Wembley on August 30 last year. A timeline of her movements have been issued from that day from CCTV footage.<\/p>\n

Ahmed has been described as 5ft 5, medium build with straight black shoulder length hair. She was last seen wearing a dark long v-neck top, black trousers, black shoes and a black jacket.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Ms Ahmed\u2019s family said: \u201cWe, Saima\u2019s family, are extremely saddened and shocked by the death of Saima.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was a very loving and caring person who was part of a very close family.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are hoping someone can provide some information as to Saima\u2019s journey on August 30 and help us to understand what happened to her.\u201d<\/p>\n
