A death probe is underway after a body was found in the grounds of a Scots church. Officers from Police Scotland are investigating after the man was discovered in Perth.
Officers raced to St Mary Magdalene Church, in the city’s Glenearn Road, at 2.20pm on Saturday after the alarm was raised. The scene was locked down as the emergency services began to investigate.
