The sentencing hearing of the man who murdered Karen Buckley in Glasgow is to be televised tomorrow.
Last month, 21-year-old Alexander Pacteau pleaded guilty to murdering the nurse from Mourneabbey, Cork.
Karen Buckley's disappearance last April sparked a massive manhunt, which ended when the body of the 24-year-old was found in a remote farm north of Glasgow.
It emerged at trial that Mr Pacteau had likely killed her within minutes of meeting Buckley outside a nightclub in the city.
He is expected to face a mandatory life sentence for murder, which in Scotland carries a minimum jail term of 15 years.
In August, Judge Lady Rae said she would take into account Alexander Pacteau's 'callous and calculating' actions when sentencing him.
She has been given three victim impact statements from Karen Buckley's family members, and will be given a report on Mr Pacteau.
He had previously been accused of attacking a 24-year-old woman by trying to force her to perform a sex act on him, but was found not guilty by majority verdict.
