Police Scotland said they have yet to identify the remains, but that officials suspect they have found David Yates, 36, Ms Sturrock’s fiance.
The development came just hours after leading investigators shifted their lines of inquiry to cover the expectant mother’s murder.
Yates was wanted in connection with his partner’s death, and he is the only one suspected to have been involved.
Announcing the discovery this evening, Police Scotland said there was “nothing has been established so far to suggest anyone else was involved in her death”.
Detective Superintendent Nicola Kilbane said the force’s thoughts were with the late teacher’s family.
She said: “Our thoughts are with Marelle’s family and friends, along with everyone affected by this tragedy.
“We are providing her family with specialist support at this incredibly difficult time.”
