A MAN has been arrested in connection with the death of a pensioner whose body was found in a house in Greenock.
Police say a 47-year-old has been held by detectives following investigations into the death of 78-year-old John Sharp senior earlier this month.
Officers were called to a flat in Ann Street around half past midnight on Tuesday January 9 and the senior citizen was pronounced dead at the scene.
An investigation was launched, with the police saying earlier this month that they were treating the death as unexplained.
A report has now been sent to the procurator fiscal and the arrested man is due to appear at Greenock Sheriff Court today.
