Police have confirmed they are treating the death of mum-to-be Marelle Sturrock as murder.
A major investigation was launched after the 35-year-old primary school teacher was found dead at her home in Glasgow on Tuesday.
Miss Sturrock, originally from Reiss, near Wick, was 29 weeks pregnant. Her baby did not survive.
Detectives have confirmed her fiance David Yates is wanted in connection with her murder.
He was last seen near Mugdock Country Park, in Milngavie, on Monday night and a search involving police divers and kayakers is ongoing.

Following the news of Miss Sturrock’s death, many have paid tribute to the primary school teacher at Sandwood Primary School in Glasgow.
Headteacher Fiona Donnelly described Miss Sturrock as a “kind and considerate person” with friends saying she “will be sorely missed”.
Police have cordoned off Mugdock Country Park – nine miles away from where Miss Sturrock’s body was found on Jura Street.
Sniffer dogs and a police diving team were spotted searching area around the park.
Detective Superintendent Nicola Kilbane said: “At this time we have no information to suggest anyone else has been involved.
“His vehicle, a white Seat Ateca, was found at Mugdock Country Park on Tuesday and an extensive search has been ongoing in the area since.”
“The last confirmed sighting of David was on Sunday evening shortly after 8pm.
“His subsequent movements are unknown after his vehicle was left at Mugdock Country Park but there is nothing to suggest he has left the area.
“We will keep an open mind on this as we continue to search the area.”
She would not say if Yates is thought to be dead or alive, but that his last sighting was near the park.
She was also unable to say when Miss Sturrock was last seen alive but that officers attended the teacher’s home at around 8.40am on Tuesday and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Ms Kilblane refused to comment on the couple’s relationship or if there had been any prior police involvement.
Det Supt Kilbane added: “Our thoughts are with Marelle’s family and friends, along with everyone affected by this tragedy. We are providing her family with specialist support at this incredibly difficult time.”
