Man Held Over Student Murder

Police investigating the death of a woman whose body was found in undergrowth in the east end of Glasgow have arrested a man.

Khusbu Shah was discovered in Coventry Drive, Dennistoun, at about 1pm on Saturday.

The 21-year-old Nepalese national, who lived locally, was reported missing last week.

Mrs Shah lived in Britain for four years and was recently a student at Glasgow Caledonia University, where she studied accounting part-time.

A 30-year-old man has been held in connection with her death. The man is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Wednesday.
