The body of a man recovered during a search sparked by the death of a pregnant teacher has been formally identified as David Yates.

Police Scotland launched a hunt for Yates, 36, after Marelle Sturrock, 35, was found dead in a property in Glasgow’s Jura Street on Tuesday morning.

A murder investigation was launched into the death of Ms Sturrock, who was 29 weeks pregnant, and her partner Yates was wanted in connection with the incident.

A body was recovered from Mugdock Reservoir on Thursday night.

On Friday afternoon, a force spokesperson said: “The body of a man recovered yesterday following searches of Mugdock Reservoir has now been formally identified as 36-year-old David Yates.

“His death is not being treated as suspicious.”

Yates’s white Seat Ateca was discovered at Mugdock Country Park nine miles away on Tuesday, sparking a major police search.
