A post-mortem examination will take place. Inquiries are continuing to identify the woman. | |
The officer in charge of the investigation, Det Ch Insp Derek Robertson, said: "Our enquiries are at a very early stage and until the post mortem examination has been carried out, we cannot speculate on the cause of death. | |

Incident room | |
Det Ch Insp Robertson said officers would like to speak to anyone who was in the area of Queen's Park on Wednesday evening or Thursday morning and saw or heard anything suspicious. | |
"Queen's Park is a popular park which is generally busy, especially with people walking their dogs or passing through," he said. | |
"I would also ask anyone who has been in the park during the relevant times to come forward as they may have unwittingly seen or heard something that may be of importance to this enquiry." | |
An incident room has been set up at nearby Cathcart police station. | |
An incident caravan has also been sited at Queen's Park Gates at Victoria Road and Queen's Drive. |
