Colleagues of a pregnant teacher who was found dead at her Glasgow home raised the alarm after she failed to show up for work.
Friends of Marelle Sturrock, a teacher at Sandwood Primary School in the city, had gone to the 35-year-old's house on Tuesday morning but became concerned when she didn't answer the door.
Police were called to the property on Jura Street in Govan at around 8.40am. Marelle, from Wick, Caithness, was found dead inside.
