Police Scotland are investigating the “unexplained” death of a woman in Bellshill.
The body of a woman has been found at a Scots property as police launch a probe into her “unexplained” death.
Emergency crews raced to a home on Blairholm Drive in Bellshill, North Lanarkshire, at around 7.45am yesterday (Saturday July 5), with officers still at the scene today.
The death is being treated as unexplained as investigations continue.
Forensics were spotted on the scene alongside the police presence.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 7.45am on Saturday, July 5 2025, a woman was found deceased within an address on Blairholm Drive, Bellshill.
“Police remain at the scene, and enquiries into her death, which at this time is being treated as unexplained, are ongoing.”
Yesterday, in a separate incident, we reported that a man who died after an alleged stabbing in Paisley had been pictured for the first time as his family paid a touching tribute.
On Thursday July 3, at around 2.35am, emergency crews raced to Greenock Road in the Renfrewshire town after receiving reports of a man being attacked with a bladed weapon.
A 39-year-old man was found seriously injured and blue-lighted to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow where he died a short time later.
He has been named as Richard Lee and his family have released the following statement via Police Scotland: “The family are devastated, we all adored Richard. He will be very much missed.”
On Friday, David Arthur, 40, appeared before Paisley Sheriff Court charged with the murder of Richard Lee.
Arthur, of Paisley, faced one charge of murder and one charge of an attempt to defeat the ends of justice.
He made no plea and the case was committed for further examination. He will reappear in the dock within the next eight days.
A team of forensic officers were seen combing nearby streets following the attack, with a police cordoning off the area and advising drivers advised to avoid the area. Uniformed officers remained guarding the area on Thursday evening.
Detective Inspector Gordon Smith said: “Our thoughts remain with Richard’s family and friends. We are continuing to offer support and are keeping them updated with the progress of our investigation.
“Additional officers remain in the area and anyone with concerns or information can approach them or call 101.”
