Claire Inglis murder: ‘Our lives imploded' - parents

The parents of a Stirling mum have said the legal system failed to protect their daughter after she was murdered by the man she’d been dating for just eight weeks whilst he was out on bail.

Christopher McGowan, who has been jailed for a minimum of 23 years, was known to police and tried to attack Claire Inglis in the street two days before her death in November 2021.
