Extradition set over Moira case

Moira Jones body was found in Queen's Park on 29 May

A Slovak man is to be extradited to Scotland in connection with the death of Moira Jones in Glasgow.

A statement from the Slovak authorities said a regional prosecutor had ruled the man would be transferred to Scotland in the next 10 days.

Slovak police detained the 32-year-old suspect on an international arrest warrant three weeks ago.

The body of Ms Jones, a 40-year-old sales consultant, was found in Queen's Park in Glasgow's south side on 29 May.

Police said Ms Jones, who was originally from Staffordshire, had been subjected to a "brutal attack" and had also been sexually assaulted.

The discovery of her body sparked a massive murder inquiry.

Queen's Park was cordoned off to allow a thorough forensic search and re-opened more than two weeks later on 12 June.

Police spoke to more than 1,200 people and took DNA samples from 250 as part of their investigation.
