Police are trying to allay fears among Edinburgh's gay community following three deaths in the past month.
Officers said there was nothing to indicate a link between the three men who have died, but stressed they were keeping an open mind.
Roger Gray, 64, a lecturer murdered in his Merchiston home, is the third gay man killed in the city recently.
It follows the deaths of John Carter, 44, in Leith, and a man in Pilton who cannot be named for legal reasons.
The body of Mr Gray, who had worked at Heriot-Watt University, was found in the hallway of his flat at the weekend with multiple stab wounds.
A team of 40 detectives are investigating his murder.
Officers were called to the house by the gas board, who had been alerted to the smell of gas coming from the building on Saturday.
Lothian and Borders Police launched a murder inquiry on Wednesday following the results of the post-mortem examination, which revealed he had been stabbed in a "sustained attack".
