Police have arrested a 19-year-old man in connection with the death of Hamilton teenager Amber Gibson.
The 16-year-old’s body was found in a wooded area near Cadzow Glen on Sunday morning after she had been reported missing two days earlier.
The young girl, who was staying at a council-run care home at the time, was last seen in the Hillhouse area of the town at around 9.15pm on Friday.
She was then spotted on Cadzow Street - near where her body was later discovered - around 45 minutes later.
A murder investigation was launched following the results of a post mortem with an increased police prescence remaining in the area.
Police Scotland have now announced that a male teenager has been arrested but not yet charged.
A statement from the force, released on Wednesday night, said: “We can confirm that a 19-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the death of Amber Gibson.
“Amber, 16, had been reported missing from the Hamilton area on Friday, 26 November, and her body was discovered near to Cadzow Glen around 10.10am on Sunday, 28 November.
