Man convicted of murdering 28-year-old woman in 'horrific attack'

A MAN has been convicted of murder following the death of 28-year-old Claire Inglis in Stirling.

Christopher McGowan, 26, was found guilty on Thursday, 28 September, 2023, following a trial at the High Court in Stirling.

He is due to be sentenced on Wednesday, 25 October, 2023, at the High Court in Edinburgh.

Inglis died at her home in Cultenhove Crescent, St Ninians on Sunday, 28 November, 2021 after being attacked by McGowan.

Detective Inspector Will Harley, Forth Valley CID, said: “Claire had a young family when her life was ended by this horrific attack.

“Her loved ones have been left absolutely devastated and our thoughts remain with them at this extremely difficult time.

“While this conviction can’t change what happened, I hope that it brings at least a degree of closure for her relatives and friends.

“This was a horrendous crime, which involved significant levels of violence. Christopher McGowan cruelly took Claire’s life, showing complete disregard for her and her family.

“He will now have to face the consequences of his actions.

“Violence like this has no place in our society and we will continue to work closely with our partners to bring perpetrators to justice.”
