Ann Coll, 61, was found with serious injuries inside a property on Newfield Place at around 12.45am on Friday, December 22.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
We previously reported that the street had been locked down as officers investigated her death, which was being treated as unexplained.
Following a post-mortem, Ms Coll’s death is now being treated as suspicious and the force is carrying out a murder inquiry.
Officers are continuing to investigate the murder in the area and are urging anyone who may have information that could help to get in touch.
Detective Chief Inspector Lynsey Watters said: “Our thoughts are with Ann’s family and we are providing them with support at this very difficult time.
“Our investigation into her murder is ongoing and I would urge anyone who can help to get in touch as soon as you can.
“I would ask anyone who believes they may have seen or heard anything which may be suspicious around the area to get in touch with us.”
She added: “Extensive enquiries are ongoing in the area and officers continue to work door to door, along with other lines of investigation.
“There will be an additional police presence in the area as this work continues and I would urge anyone who has any concerns, or who believes they may have information to speak to our officers.”
Anyone with information can call 101, quoting reference 0110 of December 22, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
