A woman's body has been recovered in the search for a 58-year-old missing since an incident in a river almost a month ago.

A major search and rescue operation was launched on October 11 after reports of two people in the River Kelvin in Glasgow's west end.

A man was rescued by fire crews at the time but the woman was not found.

Police Scotland said the body of a woman was recovered from the River Kelvin in Glasgow shortly before 12.30pm on Friday.

Formal identification is still to take place, however the force said the family of a 58-year-old woman who was reported missing in the area has been informed.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "There are no apparent suspicious circumstances and a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal in due course."
