John Swinney has been pressed to release in full a "truly damning" report on the murder of a young mother. ‌

Claire Inglis, 28, was killed by her boyfriend Christopher McGowan in 2021 - with her body having 76 separate sites of injury when it was discovered in her Stirling home. ‌

As her parents Fiona and Ian watched on from the public gallery at Holyrood on Thursday, Conservative leader Russell Findlay raised the case at First Minister's Questions. ‌

He urged Mr Swinney to release an expert social work report into Ms Inglis's death, and also called on him to review a "bail blindspot" in the law that he claimed is "putting women and children in danger".

McGowan, then 28, was jailed for life and ordered to serve a minimum of 23 years behind bars in October 2023
