Glasgow police have discovered a body in the search for a missing murder suspect following the death of a 35-year-old teacher in Govan.
The body of a 36-year-old man, who is believed to be David Yates, was found in Mugdock Reservoir on Thursday, April 27.
He was the partner of Marelle Sturrock who was found dead at her home address on Jura Street on Tuesday, 25 April.

The body is yet to be formally identified but is believed to be Yates.
Heavy searches of Mugdock County Park have been ongoing since Tuesday after his white Seat Ateca was spotted in the carpark.
He was wanted in connection with the murder of Marelle who was 29 weeks pregnant. Sadly, her unborn baby did not survive.
An investigation remains ongoing but nothing has been established so far to suggest anyone else was involved in her death.
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.”
