Monument link in mystery death investigation

A monument to a 17th century witch has been sealed off as police investigate the suspicious death of Annalise Johnstone.

Her body was found ten days ago, a few miles along the B8062, near Auchterarder, Perthshire. It is thought she, or others familiar with her, had visited the memorial around the time of her death.

The Maggie Wall memorial, near Dunning, is one of at least 11 locations now being investigated.

It has been taped off and the ground in front of the stone cairn and cross was covered in black plastic sheeting.
