Woman jailed for murder of schoolgirl Caroline Glachan in 1996

A woman has been sentenced to at least 17 years in prison for the murder of a schoolgirl in West Dunbartonshire almost 30 years ago.

Donna Marie Brand was found guilty of killing of 14-year-old Caroline Glachan, alongside Robert O’Brien and Andrew Kelly, in Renton in August 1996.

The trio were convicted of the murder after a two-week trial in January, but Brand's sentencing was deferred due to illness.

The 44-year-old was given a life sentence at the High Court in Glasgow on Monday.

Judge Lord Braid delivered the sentence.
