The body of a man has been recovered following searches of Mugdock Reservoir today.
He is yet to be formally identified but police say it is believed to be David Yates (36) – the partner of Marelle Sturrock (35), who was found dead at her home in Jura Street, Glasgow on Tuesday.
She was originally from Wick.
Mr Yates was wanted in connection with the murder of Ms Sturrock.
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.”
