The death of woman found dead alongside her husband at a remote cottage in Renfrewshire was murder, say cops.
They confirmed this evening that the death of 35-year-old Stacy Mair is being treated as murder, following a post-mortem.
The death of her husband, Jim Mair, 43, is still being treated as unexplained. Police say there is nothing to suggest anyone else was involved.
The pair married in May, 2019 and ran a tree surgeon company together but Stacey resigned as a director earlier this year.
Around 7.50am on Monday, 27 July, 2026, police received a report of concern for a person in the Corsliehill Road area of Houston.

Emergency services attended, and the bodies of a woman and a man were found nearby.
A post-mortem examination on Jim, will take place in due course.
Photos taken by the Record at the scene on Tuesday show multiple police vehicles parked outside a property in Houston and a nearby road.
Officers can be seen by the cottage where vans are also stationed in an adjacent field as well as scouring nearby woodland.
The home sits on the main road, with another similar style of property situated just a few hundred yards away.
Detectives from Police Scotland’s Major Investigation Team, as well as officers from the local policing division, continue to carry out extensive enquiries to establish the full circumstances.
At this time, there is nothing to suggest any risk to the public.
