He was jailed for a minimum of 23 years in October last year. Viv became friends with Claire when they worked in a nursery together more than 10 years ago. "Claire's death should never have happened.

She should never have been put in a position where a dangerous violent criminal was bailed to her home," she told the Record."Claire should have been better protected by the system."When I heard what happened, I was in complete and utter disbelief.

I knew her killer because he lived in the same area."It brings me peace to know that he is behind bars."Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.You'll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.All you have to do is click here if you're on mobile, select 'Join Community' and you're in!If you're on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click 'Join Community'.We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
