The Court of Appeal in ­Edinburgh refused Claire Inglis' killer Christopher McGowan's appeal on Friday.

The mum of a woman murdered by her partner said she burst into tears after hearing her killer had lost an appeal against his sentence.

“When we got a phone call from the advocate to say his appeal was rejected, I burst into tears. I told Claire’s son her killer had to remain in jail and he jumped up and down in the hall saying, ‘He has to stay in there, he has to stay in there.” Fiona, of Stirling, said: “It’s been an incredibly long and difficult road but finally we will be able to set Claire free knowing her killer is behind bars where he belongs. From the day he took Claire’s life he has never shown any remorse.

McGowan battered and throttled Claire, 28, burned her face with a lighter and choked her with a wet wipe.
