Woman found dead was murdered, police say, as man's death still 'unexplained'

Stacy Mair was found dead in Houston, Renfrewshire on Monday morning

Police are treating the death of a woman, who was found alongside the body of a man, as murder.

Stacy Mair, 35, was found near Corsliehill Road in Houston at about 07:50 on Monday after police received a report of concern for a person.

The death of the 43-year-old man is still being treated as unexplained pending the results of a post-mortem examination - however police have said there is nothing to suggest anyone else was involved.

The force has given assurances that there is no further risk to the public.

Ch Insp Iain Farmer added: "This is a deeply upsetting incident for the families involved, and the impact is felt right across the local community.

"I am grateful for the support we have received as we complete our essential enquires to ensure the families and local residents get the answers they need."
