Detectives hunting for the partner of a pregnant teacher have discovered a body. Police said the body is yet to be formally identified but is believed to be that of David Yates, 36.
The body was found during searches of Mugdock Reservoir on Thursday (April 27), police said. Mr Yates was wanted in connection with the murder of 35-year-old Marelle Sturrock, who was 29 weeks pregnant.
An investigation by Police Scotland remains ongoing but nothing has been established so far to suggest anyone else was involved in Ms Sturrock’s death, detectives have said.
Detective Superintendent Nicola Kilbane said: “Our thoughts are with Marelle’s family and friends, along with everyone affected by this tragedy.
“We are providing her family with specialist support at this incredibly difficult time.”
