9am Briefing: Suzanne Pilley's DNA found in ex's car

DETECTIVES investigating the death of missing Suzanne Pilley have reportedly found DNA traces of her hair and tissue in the boot of her former lover's car.

Reports suggest forensic experts who took samples from David Gilroy's silver car found a match with the 38-year-old, who police believe was murdered in the Edinburgh office basement where she worked on 4 May before her body was dumped in Argyll.

Sources reportedly described the DNA find as "not significant" as the pair had a year long affair. A police spokesman said Miss Pilley would have been a "frequent user of the vehicle".

Mr Gilroy, 47, has denied being involved with Ms Pilley's disappearance.

Three of the men, including the rescued man, were taken to St John's hospital with smoke inhalation. One had slight burns and was kept in overnight.
