Sturgeon says Murrell charge 'incredibly difficult'

Former first minister Nicola Sturgeon has described allegations that her husband embezzled funds from the SNP as "incredibly difficult".

Peter Murrell, a former chief executive of the party, was arrested and charged by police on Thursday.

Mr Murrell had spent 22 years as the party's chief executive.

Ms Sturgeon spoke briefly to the media as she left the home she shares with her husband in Glasgow.
