A pregnant woman who was found dead at a flat in Glasgow has been named locally as Marelle Sturrock.
Police were called to a property on Jura Street in Govan amid concern for a person at 8.40am on Tuesday, April 25. The body of the 35-year-old, from Wick, Caithness, was found inside.
Officers are currently treating her death as unexplained.
Detectives searching for a missing person over eight miles away at Mugdock Country Park in Milngavie, East Dunbartonshire, say their presence is "linked" to the death of the mum-to-be.
Cops were seen swarming the woodland yesterday morning, with dog units and a helicopter in attendance. Images from the scene show a large section close to an entrance of the park taped off as the search operation continues for a second day.
Meanwhile, tributes have started pouring in on social media for Marelle, who was a singer and actor, as several of her close friends changed their Facebook profile pictures to include her. Writing on her profile, Christopher Beattie said: "Rest in peace, Marelle."
