Man in custody over woman’s death

Police are treating the death of a 21-year-old woman, whose body was found in a West Lothian street, as suspicious.

Lothian and Borders Police said the discovery was made by a member of the public in Brucefield Drive in Whitburn town centre at about 0255 GMT.

A post-mortem examination to determine how she died is due to take place.

Police have appealed for witnesses, in particular a group of youths seen in East Main Street in the early hours of Saturday, to get in touch.

The incident has resulted in the town’s main thoroughfare being cordoned off to allow forensic examiners to assess the scene.
