Woman who got away with murder for nearly 30 years is jailed for 17 years

A woman who with her two friends murdered schoolgirl Caroline Glachan in 1996 and evaded justice for decades has been jailed.

The body of Glachan, 14, was discovered on the banks of the River Leven in Scotland’s West Dunbartonshire.

She had been beaten and pelted with bricks before being shoved into the undergrowth.

Donna Marie Brand, 44, was found guilty in December alongside Robert O’Brien, 45, and Andrew Kelly, 44, of killing Caroline.
