Marelle, who was a 35-year-old teacher at Glasgow’s Sandwood Primary School, lived with fiancé Mr Yates, with the pair getting engaged in 2015. The school sent out a letter to staff and parents of pupils of the passing of the 'beloved member of our teaching staff".
The night before her body was found Marelle shared a photo on social media where she was seen smiling with friends at a restaurant. Marelle was found dead at her home on Jura Street, Glasgow on Tuesday, April 25.
Officers continue to provide specialist support to both families.
