“There remains an increased police presence in the area as the investigation continues.
“We are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed anything around the time of this incident to please contact police.
“In addition, members of the public are asked to check their private CCTV or dash-cam footage as this may be significant in assisting us with our enquiries.”
After emergency crews were alerted to the disturbance on Tuesday, a huge cordon was set up in the area.
Police taped off multiple blocks of flats near Dobbies Loan Place and St Mungo Avenue.
The area remained cordoned off on Wednesday, October 30, while officers continued to probe Sandie's death.
