One man was responsible for two sex attacks carried out in Edinburgh more than five years ago, Police Scotland have said.
Advances in the investigation have revealed a full DNA profile for the person responsible, according to detectives.
In the first attack, a 19-year-old woman was assaulted after she got off a bus in Lanark Road West shortly after midnight on Thursday August 27 2015, when a man approached her in the Newmills Road area and claimed he had a knife.
