POLICE searching a Scottish country park for a missing man after the death of a pregnant teacher have recovered a body from a reservoir.
A man’s body was recovered from the water in Mugdock park, north of Glasgow, on Thursday.
Officers said that while he is yet to be formally identified, it is believed to be David Yates, 36.
Yates was the partner of Marelle Sturrock, 35, who was found dead at her home address on Jura Street in Glasgow on Tuesday, 25 April.
Marelle was 29 weeks pregnant at the time of her death, and her unborn child did not survive.
Yates was wanted in connection with her murder, and his car had been found at Mugdock park.
Police said the investigation remains ongoing but nothing has been established so far to suggest anyone else was involved in her death.
They further said that reports will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal in due course.
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.”
The last confirmed sighting of Yates was on Sunday just after 8pm.
Police divers had been involved in the search and large areas of the reservoir were cordoned off with police tape, with officers standing guard.
