    A "depraved" man who was convicted of the murder and sexual assault of his own sister has been jailed.<\/p>\n

    Connor Gibson, 21, was sentenced to life behind bars <\/i>with <\/i>a minimum of 22 years at the High Court in Livingston, Scotland, today (Monday, September 4) after he killed Amber Gibson, 16, on November 26, 2021.<\/p>\n

    A 13-day trial previously found Gibson guilty of the attack in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, which saw the man remove his sister's clothes, sexually assault her with the intention of raping her and inflict blunt force trauma to her head and body before strangling her.<\/p>\n

    Gibson was then arrested on December 1.<\/p>\n

    The day before he was taken into custody he posted a hair-raising tribute to his deceased sibling on Facebook, writing: "Amber, you will fly high for the rest of time.<\/p>\n
