The family of Karen Buckley say they hope her killer will spend the rest of his life behind bars.
Mike Farrell is News Organiser in STV News.
“He will get life behind bars – but in Scotland with life, you have a minimum punishment part of the sentence” he said.
“So she will have to fix that punishment part”.
“If you're looking at particularly bad murders at recent years in Scotland, some of them have got up to around about a minimum of around 30 years” he added.
