00:00 You've been convicted of the physical and sexual assault and murder of your younger sister, Amber Niven, as she liked to be known.
00:07 Like you, she had not had the best start in life, being fostered and then residing in a children's home.
00:15 She also had to deal with having been raped.
00:18 She would have looked to you as her brother for support.
00:23 She was looking forward to meeting up with you on the night she was murdered.
00:28 She even posted a selfie of both of you on Snapchat.
00:31 You walked with her to Cadzow Glen.
00:34 There you beat her about the head, breaking her nose, removed her clothing, and sexually assaulted her with intent to rape, and then manually strangled her to death.
00:47 The last person she saw alive was you, her brother, strangling a life out of her, having beaten her up and tried to rape her.
00:57 What you did was truly evil.
00:59 In sentencing you, I take into account your age, your difficult background, everything that's been said on your behalf, background report, your lack of criminal record, and of course the circumstances of your appalling crimes.
01:14 I hereby sentence you to life imprisonment.
