Natalie Egan’s father said his daughter “always tried to help people”

The father of an NHS worker, whose death is being treated as murder, has described her as a “bubbly” person who “always tried to help people”.

Emergency services found Natalie Egan’s body at about 07:25 on Friday in a flat in Byron Street, Dundee, after reports of a fire in the property.

Calum Miller, 26, has been charged with murdering the 37-year-old nursing assistant by repeatedly stabbing her.

Ms Egan’s father Pat said his family were devastated by her death, describing his daughter as the “life and soul”.

He told BBC Scotland News: “We know that she loved her work and I’d like to thank all her colleagues that work there, we know how they’ll be feeling as well.

“She was always bubbly, the life and soul. She always tried to help people.”

Mr Egan also thanked the rescue services and Police Scotland.

He said that his daughter grew up in Glenrothes and moved to Dundee in 2016 or 2017 to begin her job at the city’s Ninewells Hospital.

Mr Egan said that his daughter loved her French bulldog Beau, who he is currently looking after.

Ms Egan is also survived by her brother and two step-brothers.

Mr Miller did not appear in the dock during a short private hearing at Dundee Sheriff Court, with the case being held in his absence.

In addition to the murder charge, he is accused of three charges of theft, including allegedly stealing a vehicle.

No plea was entered on his behalf and the case was continued until next week for further examination.

He was remanded in custody by Sheriff John Rattray.

A lone police officer stands guard in the darkness on Byron Street, next to a marked police SUV, close to the scene of the fire.
