Amber Gibson’s brother jailed for life for killing teenager

Connor Gibson, 20, has been jailed for a minimum of 22 years after he was found guilty of sexually assaulting and murdering his 16-year-old sister in a park in Hamilton. 

Amber Gibson’s body was found in Cadzow Glen on 28 November 2021, two days after she was last seen.

Connor Gibson strangled Amber then got rid of his clothes and called the children’s home Amber was staying at to pretend she was still alive. 

Another man, Stephen Corrigan – unknown to both Amber and Connor – has been found guilty of inappropriately touching Amber’s body when he found her remains in the woods. He did not call the police on discovering her body but instead assaulted her and then concealed her remains. He has been jailed for nine years. 

Connor Gibson must serve at least 22 years before he can apply for parole.
