A man who died within a property in Camelon Crescent in Blantyre has been identified as Richard Marshall, Police Scotland said.
The 33-year-old died following a disturbance on March 31, which was reported around 3.30pm. His death is being treated as murder.
A 20-year-old man was arrested and charged in connection with the death and was due to appear on Saturday.
Mr Marshall’s family have asked for privacy and issued the following statement: “We are completely devastated by the loss of Richard who was a much-loved son, brother, uncle and good friend. He will be cherished in our hearts forever.”
Detectives are continuing with enquiries to establish the full circumstances of what happened.
Detective inspector Frank Travers, from the Major Investigations Team, said: "Our thoughts are with Richard’s family at this very difficult time and we are providing them with support.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
