The death of 35-year-old Marelle Sturrock is being treated as suspicious after her body was discovered on Tuesday morning at a property in the city's Jura Street.

Following the incident, officers have been searching for a man nine miles away at Mugdock Country Park in East Dunbartonshire.

Police Scotland said the two investigations were linked but that there was "not believed to be any risk to the wider public".

Ms Sturrock worked at Sandwood Primary School in Glasgow and her family has been told of her death.

Headteacher Fiona Donnelly said: "Marelle has been a much-loved member of our school community since her probationary year more than six years ago and has taught many year groups throughout her time at the school.

"We will all miss her so much.

"She was a lovely, kind, diligent and considerate person who loved and made time for everyone."

Ms Sturrock was from the Scottish Highlands but moved to Glasgow when she was 17 to pursue a career in the performing arts.

She later became a primary school teacher after completing her postgraduate diploma in education.

Ms Donnelly added: "Marelle used her artistic talents across the school and was our music champion who has been a key player in the success of our school choirs; with one of her classes going to see her on stage at The King's in one of her many acting roles outside of school.

"We are a school community in mourning and are devastated by the tragic news of her death and pass on our deepest condolences to her family and friends as we all come to terms with our loss."

Detective Chief Inspector Cheryl Kelly earlier confirmed officers had been carrying out extensive searches of Mugdock Country Park in relation to a missing person in the area.

She said: "This is being treated as linked to the death at Jura Street and enquiries remain ongoing."

DCI Kelly later added: "Our thoughts are with Marelle's family and friends, as well as everyone affected by this tragic incident.

"We are providing her family with support at this incredibly difficult time as our investigation to establish the full circumstances continues."
