A memorial service will take place at Glasgow Caledonian University tomorrow to mark the first anniversary of the death of Irish student Karen Buckley, who was murdered in Glasgow.

The service will involve Ms Buckley’s friends and classmates from the School of Health and Life Sciences.

An anniversary mass will also take place in Mourneabbey in north Cork on Friday.

Ms Buckley, 24, was on a night out with friends in Glasgow when she went missing on 12 April last year.

Her disappearance sparked one of the most extensive searches ever carried out by Glasgow police.

The search ended four days later when Ms Buckley's body was found on a remote farm.

Alexander Pacteau is serving a life sentence for her murder.
