Tributes have been left for beloved teacher Marelle Sturrock after her shock death on Tuesday.

At Sandwood Primary School where Marelle, 35, was a teacher, the flag was flown at half mast in her honour.

 

We previously reported that headteacher Fiona Donnelley paid tribute to the 'much-loved member of the school community' as the students and faculty were grappling with the devastating news.

Meanwhile, at the Jura Street property where Marelle's body was discovered, students have begun to leave flowers for their late teacher.

One card read "I will miss you loads."

Elsewhere, Marelle's former drama group Wick Players, based in the Highlands where she was from, has also left a touching tribute.

Glasgow Times:

They wrote: "Wick Players are so sorry to learn of the passing of member, Marelle Sturrock.

"Marelle was an active member of Wick Players from when she was a young teenager, she was a great asset to the group and she was a very talented young lady both with her singing and her acting.

"Some people have a light that shines from within, and Marelle’s talent shone through that aura and she followed her dream by doing drama and music studies at University.

"It is tragic that her young life has ended too soon but we at Wick Players will always love and remember her as one of our family.

"We extend our deepest sympathy and condolences to her family."

Glasgow Times:

Marelle's death is being treated as suspicious and police remain on the scene at Mugdock Park searching for her partner David Yates in connection to the incident.

A police presence also remains at the property on Jura Street.

Glasgow Times:

Detective Chief Inspector Kelly added: "A visible police presence will remain at both locations as our work continues.

"There is not believed to be any risk to the wider public but I would urge anyone with information or concerns to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident 0904 of April 25 or speak to any of our officers."
