Park reopens after murder search

There is still a police presence outside the park 'Uneasy feelings' as park reopens

The Glasgow park at the centre of the Moira Jones murder inquiry has been reopened - more than two weeks after it was cordoned off by police.

Queen's Park in the city's south side was closed on 29 May after a park ranger found the 40-year-old's body.

Police said she had been subjected to a "brutal attack" and had also been sexually assaulted.

The sales consultant was last seen at 2230 BST on 28 May when she left a friend's house to drive home.

Throughout the past fortnight, forensic experts and police officers have carried out an extensive and detailed examination of the whole area. The force said this had now been completed.

Det Ch Insp Derek Robertson, who is in charge of the investigation, said: "Every area of this park has been searched by officers to ensure that we have recovered all relevant items that could assist our investigation.

"We are satisfied, as far as reasonably possible, that this is now completed.

"I would like to thank all the people who use Queens Park for their patience and co-operation over the past two weeks.

"Meanwhile, inquiries will continue into Moira's murder and I would again take this opportunity to appeal to anyone who knows anything whatsoever that could assist our investigation to come forward."

A public walk will be held to remember Ms Jones in Queen's Park on Saturday at 1000 BST.

Strathclyde Police Chaplain, Rev Neil Galbraith, will make an address at the Victoria Road entrance before a procession around the park.
