A WOMAN’S death is being treated as “unexplained” after her body was recovered in a Scottish town.

The body was found on Thursday afternoon in Rozelle Park in Ayr, police said.

The death is being treated as unexplained.

Wilkie was reported missing on Tuesday December 19 after last being seen at around 8.30pm on Monday December 18, where she sat on a bench near the Millennium Bridge.

Chief Inspector Kevin Lammie, local area commander, previously said it was “out of character” for Wilkie to not keep in contact with her family, and said police were “extremely concerned” for her safety.
