Hundreds stopped in murder hunt

Detectives said they have been "encouraged" by the public response

Police hunting the killer of Moira Jones have questioned more than 1,000 people in the Queen's Park area of Glasgow one week after her murder.

The 40-year-old's body was discovered in the park last Thursday. She had been sexually assaulted and beaten to death.

Officers conducted interviews between 2130 BST and midnight on Wednesday in the hope of jogging the memory of anyone who saw something that night.

The detective leading the inquiry said the operation had been very useful.

Det Ch Insp Derek Robertson said: "I am encouraged by the response from members of the public.

"At this time, we are currently sifting through the details provided to see if there is that vital piece of information that may move this investigation forward."

Ms Jones was last seen at 2230 BST on Wednesday when she left a friend's house on Minerva Street, in the Cranston Hill area of Glasgow, in her black Toyota car. It is a journey that typically takes 15 minutes.

Police believe Ms Jones was involved in a scuffle and then led into the park shortly after parking her car near her home on Queen's Drive some time after 2245 BST on Wednesday.

Her partially-clothed body was discovered inside the park at about 0945.

The park has been cordoned off since and is expected to remain closed until next week while officers continue to search the area.
