Scottish police are investigating whether the Bulgarian vagrant who allegedly beheaded a British grandmother in a Tenerife supermarket is linked to unsolved crimes after it emerged he recently worked in Edinburgh.

His former flatmate in the Leith area of the city, Vlad Chmurny, 36, from Slovakia, said Deyan Deyanov, spent hours smoking drugs and “weeping” over his lack of friends.
He also suggested that Deyanov was a fantasist who boasted of a wealthy family and lots of girlfriends, although he only ever saw one woman at the flat.
Mr Chmurny said the Bulgarian left Scotland about a year ago after losing his job in the construction industry, before turning up unannounced three months ago, when he refused to allow him to stay.
A Lothian and Borders spokesman said officers would investigate whether he was linked to any crimes in the force area, but added that they had not been contacted by authorities in Tenerife.
Meanwhile in Tenerife, a security guard who was attacked by 28-year-old Deyanov four months ago, spoke about his ordeal.
