Caroline Glachan murder: 'You have taken a daughter from a loving mother'

Two men have been jailed for life for murdering a schoolgirl in West Dunbartonshire more than 27 years ago.

The body of Caroline Glachan, 14, was discovered on the banks of the River Leven in Renton on 25 August 1996.

Robert O'Brien must serve at least 22 years in prison and Andrew Kelly will have to serve at least 18 years before they can apply for parole.

Donna Marie Brand, who was also found guilty of murder, was unfit to attend court and will be sentenced later.

The trio had denied murder but were convicted after a two-week trial at the High Court in Glasgow.

Judge Lord Braid described the murder as "brutal, depraved and above all wicked".
