Paige Doherty's mother: 'A monster is behind bars'

A mother has spoken of her family's relief that "a monster is behind bars" for the brutal murder of her daughter.

Pamela Munro, made a statement outside the High Court in Glasgow, when she said the family has been left with a void that will never be filled but can now start to get on with their lives.

Paige Doherty, from Clydebank, was 15 when she disappeared on her way to her Saturday job in March.

John Leathem, 32, has been sentenced to life with a minimum of 27 years in jail for the murder which he admitted in September.

On passing the mandatory life sentence, Lady Rae said it had been a savage and frenzied attack.
