Three people who fell to their deaths from the 15th floor of a block of flats in Glasgow were members of a Russian family, it has emerged. The family came to the UK three years ago after losing an asylum claim in Canada.

The Red Rose flats where they lived are regarded in Glasgow as a pretty grim place to live. Denise Mina, a crime writer who lives in Glasgow, took a walk around the flats.
