''Dr Coshan was a member of the teaching staff at Fettes College in Edinburgh, where former prime minister
Tony Blair was once a pupil, from 1972 until his retirement in 2005.
A Fettes spokeswoman said the school was “shocked and deeply saddened” to hear of the developments and added “our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time”.
Helen Harrison, head of Fettes College, paid tribute to Peter Coshan, saying: “Peter was an inspirational biology teacher and he will be remembered fondly by many, not least by those who were taught by him, tutored by him and introduced to the hills through his enthusiasm for the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, which he ran for 33 years.”
The pair have been charged with the murder of Dr Peter Coshan, 75, who disappeared from the Seafield Road area of Edinburgh last week.

''One wrote: “Cosh was very helpful when I arrived in the middle years (fifth Form) I was a bit daunted and he took me under his wing, introduced me to all my year and got me involved. Will never forget that, a true Gent and a sad loss. God bless you Cosh and RIP’
