Tests to identify flats plunge trio

Tests to establish the identities of three people who plunged to their deaths from a high rise block of flats in Scotland are expected to take place today.

The bodies of two men and a woman were found at the bottom of a 31-storey block in Petershill Drive, Springburn, Glasgow, at 8.45am yesterday.

Their deaths are not being treated as suspicious.

It is believed the victims fell from the 15th floor of Block 63 at the Red Road flat complex, which were at one time the highest flats in Europe.

Many of the flats – which are earmarked for demolition – are occupied by asylum seekers and refugees.

In recent years some of the flats have housed people from Kosovo, Africa, Asia, the former Soviet Union, Iran and Iraq.

Local people said they believed the deceased were from overseas.
