Police Scotland is currently investigating the finding of a badly decomposed body which was found washed up on the shore near at Monreith Bay, between Mill Lane and St Medans, Monreith, Newton Stewart, on the morning of Tuesday 11 August 2015.
Detective Inspector Dean Little of Police Scotland said “at this early stage it does appear that the body is that of a female, however it will be some time before we are able to give out any more details. The body has been removed from the shore and a post mortem has been arranged. The Procurator Fiscal has been notified. At this stage we are conducting missing persons enquiries with neighbouring forces and also on a national basis. We do not have any reports of local missing persons in the Dumfries and Galloway area at this time.”
