Nicola Sturgeon promises full cooperation with police after husband’s arrest

Former first minister says she ‘will get on with her job’ in statement outside Glasgow home raided by police last week

Nicola Sturgeon has pledged to “fully cooperate” with police after the arrest of her husband, the SNP’s former chief executive, during an investigation into party finances.

Speaking publicly today for the first time since Peter Murrell’s arrest, the former first minister admitted that recent days had been “obviously difficult” in a brief statement outside the couple’s Glasgow home, which police had raided three days earlier.
