Doris Irene Wright was found in the River Clyde on Thursday 29 March 1956 about a week after she was assaulted and fell in.
A 23-year-old man, a labourer from Partick, was charged with her culpable homicide and assault but the charges were later reduced to assault and then dropped. It was said that the man first appeared at the Central police court on the culpable homicide charge about nine hours after workmen heard a man shouting that there was a woman in the river.
