Tests due on car death children

Post-mortem examinations are expected to be carried out on the bodies of two boys found dead in a car.

The children, aged two and six were found dead in a vehicle in an isolated car park near Lennoxtown around 10 miles from Glasgow.

The grim discovery was made on Crow Road at around 4.30pm on Saturday, Strathclyde police said. Two ambulances were sent up to the scene, one is believed to have come back down with its lights flashing, the other following behind.

Strathclyde police said they were treating the deaths as suspicious and confirmed they were following a positive line of enquiry.

A man who was found at the scene remains at Glasgow's Royal Infirmary where he is believed to be under the guard of police.

It is not yet known whether he was a relation of the dead children.

Strathclyde police confirmed that the vehicle was moved from the car park at around 11pm on Saturday by a recovery lorry under police escort.

Officers remain at the scene scouring the isolated car park for traces of evidence.

The B822, which has been closed, later reopened to public traffic.
